[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you reading my mind?   I'm 41 and I dont know if it's perimenopause or what but all of a sudden I'm so sad/angry/depressed most of the time and I cant shake it. I have an appt to see my OB/GYN next week to see if my hormones are out of wack.  But I'm going to see if she can recommend an anti-depressant.  I'd also like to hear from posters who take anti-depressants and how they've help you.   [/quote]

You sound a lot like me.  I thought it was perimenopause because it seemed like I was PMSing all the time.  I'd been going through a very rough period and had been going to CBT/therapy for the past year and didn't think I was depressed.   I spoke to my OB/gyn about it (and she did test my hormone/thyroid) but also prescribed Celexa for me.  It's helped a lot and I wish I'd taken it sooner.  I didn't notice any side effects and it really helps me feel like my old self.  I'm not on the emotional rollercoaster anymore, I'm not short tempered and I just feel better - like my old self.

I've also had NO problem with life insurance or security clearances.  I'm a fed with a top secret clearance which was renewed just 6 months ago.  I hope no one who is contemplating medication lets themselves be dissuaded from them because of these concerns.  That thinking is archaic and counterproductive.[/quote]

Whoever posted this.  Thank you. [/quote]
