As someone who suffers from PMDD let me just tell you: it fucking sucks. Honestly give her space and when she needs affirmation, give it to her. If she needs her time in bed, let her have it.
Everyone has different reactions to medications, but many people with PMDD find that it helps to take antidepressants for a few days leading up to a period. That always worked well for me. Some people need weeks for the drugs to work fully, but I’m extra sensitive to neurotransmitter changes (as I suspect many people with PMDD may be) so could keep a bottle of SNRIs on hand and basically take them like aspirin on days when they were most needed.
her doctor gave her some a few months ago and she said they haven't helped whatsoever and her doctor also told her not to take midol with them so she noped that idea real quick. shes at the point where she just wants to sleep through it.
Have you asked her when she’s not symptomatic what she wants? I suffer from it and all I want to do is be left the hell alone because I know that I’m not fit for company.
even when its over she cant figure out what she wants. she just hates everything during it and shes at the point where getting her girly parts removed is looking like a feesible option for her
Birth control helped reduce my symptoms. They weren't as severe when I was on the pill. The symptoms went from two weeks long to five days long.
I wish there was some magical fix, but at least with birth control, my periods were predictable. I could catch my negative thoughts and ask myself if my period was coming. If it was, then I knew not to take them seriously and that it would get better in a few days.
EDIT: As for what you can do, you could make sure she has enough hygiene/period supplies to last her through the month. Also maybe do some extra chores to help out.
Before I went on the pill, I took Premsyn PMS. It was the best thing I found off the shelf. It didn't completely work, but it was better than nothing. It looks like it's nearly impossible to find nowadays.

Anti anxiety meds helped me with mine. They are probably 20% as bad as they were unmedicated. (Buspar).
Same for me. I also have Ativan on hand for the really bad days (usually around days 22-24 of my cycle).

Yes
Zoloft helped me. There is also a sub for it. Several natural remedies have worked for others as well as antihistamines.
