As a matter of fact, my ob-gyn started me on HRT about a year ago due to preimenopausal problems. That caused migraines, other problems. She has switched me 5 times to diffrent treatments, each time with only a phone consultation. She has never checked my hormone levels. I'm BP2, have GAD and panic attacks. I had a depressive crash since the succession of hurricanes started here in Florida. My migraines started again, the doc started a different HRT, and I got much worse. So I stopped taking any hormone treatment a week ago. I haven't called the doctor because I'm not planning to go back to her.
There's an obvious connection between hormones, depression, and bipolar. My T thinks it's such a misunderstood connection and no one knows what the effects of one is upon the other.
All I know is my migraines are gone, but my depression and anxiety and very bad. Due to hormones? The hurricanes? I don't know who to turn to with this.
