My doc has three options he wants me to consider: 1) a TCA (clomiprimine to be exact) 2) Parnate and 3)Lupron injections to shut down my ovaries and add back estrogen.
#3 is due to the fact that I feel fine during the first half of my cycle but worsen premenstrually.
I don't know what to do. I have tried practically every ssri, snri, and four mood stabilizers. I get anxious, agitated, irritable and depressed for half of the month and am convinced that even though my hormones drive this, there is a bipolar component to this whole mess. I have tried Lamictal, Trileptal, Zyprexa, and Depakote to no avail.
I really don't know what to do next.
Do you think I should play it safe and try a tca or move on to something like Parnate. Lupron scares the life out of me.Thanks,
Nicole
