Re: a depot depression? does that exist From: Jude (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri Aug 20 00:14:43 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Endo Diet" Previous message: Corie: "Is there light at the end of the tunnel" In reply to: anonymous: "a depot depression? does that exist" Next in thread: Rosa: "Re: a depot depression? does that exist" The short answer is yes, mood is defintely affected by hormones. There is scientific evidence that a reduction in estrogen makes women anxious, forgetful, irritable and disinterested in sex. This does not mean that you are mentally ill, it means that your body is out of equilibrium. I encourage to consider some alternative options to the depo-provera, given that it is causing so much chaos in other areas of your life. Like for exmaple, a natural progesterone, if the depo-provera is helping control your endo symptoms. If not perhaps it is time to seek a second opinion and consider other treatment options. I know from personal experience how upsetting and distressing this can be, so hang in there, you will get it sorted. -- Jude.
