[quote=Anonymous]Lots of bad advice here. Bottom line is you need to ask doctors not DCUM. If you’re really suicidal, you need psych. 1. Psychiatrists are as a group pretty terrible at diagnosing and/or treating hormonal depression. However if that’s what you have then an SSRI may help you. Try Lexapro. Start low and go slow to minimize side effects. 2. You need to see someone who specializes in hormonal treatment of menopause only bc you are having such serious symptoms. 3. Unopposed estrogen is questionable. It increases the risk of breast cancer not just endometrial cancer. Please see an endocrinologist or someone more knowledgeable about risks and benefits than your PMD may be. Good for you for recognizing how powerful hormonal effects can be. I really hope you find physicians who can help tune you up.[/quote]
