Re: Anti-depressant questionFrom: UK (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 12 Mar 2002 02:30:38 -0600 (CST)
Hi, I have been on anti-depressants for nearly a year now. The reason I'm depressed ? Where do I start ? Some of the symptoms of PCOS are 'cosmetic' (not sure if that's the right word to use but you know what I mean) and make us feel bad about ourselves and our appearance. Years of feeling like my body was out of control, not looking or behaving the way my friends did, being told by doctors and everyone else that I was greedy and lazy and needed to lose weight and just generally feeling fat and ugly the whole time - it's all built up and I began having counselling 13 months ago to see why I was so umhappy all the time. (I do have other issues apart from the PCOS). My counsellor suggested anti-depressants may help me and my doctor was happy to prescribe them. Do they help ? Who knows really - I don't get so low now but I certainly don't get happy either - I'm pretty numb really. I think they just de-sentitize you which is sometimes good and sometimes not. I don't know what I would be like without them but am hoping to come off them in a few months. Obviously not everyone with PCOS needs them - totally depends on the individual. Hope this helps Gemma
