Thanks Holly.
Yesterday was a bad day for me - a lot of uncontrollable crying and
depression. I know my doctor said my mood swings might go haywire with
the Lupron shot I had on Monday.
I know the depression is definitely linked to hormones because today I
am feeling better. I did have a little something to drink last night to
help me calm down and go to sleep. I don't do that very often unless I
have severe pain or I am emotional.
I am going to see about trying some of the meds you mentioned. I have
Wellbutrin, but I tried taking it for fatigue. I think the Wellbutrin
should help when I am feeling depressed. I'll ask my doctor about
Premarin. The longest I have ever bled was for 2 months, and I hope
this bleeding spell doesn't last that long. I seem to bleed when
switching BCP or meds. Maybe the Lupron has caused longer bleeding?
Holly, thank you for your help and assurance. I feel much better now.
Thanks :)
