Hi-
There is some discussion of estrogen in this thread:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20020525/msgs/108021.htmlBoth my mother and sister had post-partum psychosis. My mother was probably undiagnosed BP. My sister has an anxiety disorder. I'm BPII, with long history of depression. The only time that I was, very briefly, (early self-induced miscarriage) pregnant, I felt great. I was later told that pregnancy hormones do boost some women, and that these same women often have severe post-partum problems.
I just switched from oral estradiol to the patch. My levels were too low on the highest safe dose of oral, and my GYN thought that the other liver-processed meds that I take might be interfering with proper absorption of the estrogen. I'll test the levels again in awhile. I'm feeling good, but other changes are happening too so hard to pinpoint cause(s).
