Valium is less commonly prescribed for PMDD as it may lead to dependence. SSRIs are the preferred treatment, showing better effectiveness and safety profiles.
Valium is sometimes prescribed for severe PMDD symptoms to relieve anxiety and muscle tension but is less common than SSRIs, which are considered more effective for PMDD.
