Hi Racer,
Sounds like you're going through a lot right now. I bet the anxiety is due to trying to get pregnant? At least in part? Just a hunch. And the hopelessness and crying and things, well those are no doubt exacerbated by your daily stresses also.Since your meds haven't changed, and they were doing their job for a while- has something else changed? Are you on any special hormones? Have you recently stopped taking birth control pills, for example
I took one brand of ethinyl-estradiol-progesterone somethingerother that made me totally incapacitated because I was sobbing all day long and wanting to end the misery all night long). But this only happened 4 days a month, whenever the formula changed (Ortho-tri-cyclen: it's evil. It ought to be renamed Ortho tri-cyclothymia, or Ortho tri-psychopathogen)
I'm definitely on the same page as linkadge and SLS-
B vitamins and essential fatty acids (omega 3). Yep Yep. I'm assuming that you've been getting your thyroid checked and your iron also. Important to rule out anemia and thyroid issues when mood and fertility are at stake.
I don't know much about psycho-meds, but I'm here to listen. Weight gain is not a bad thing, as long as it's slow and steady and contributes to more muscle, bone and fat. Unfortunately, when my body gains weight it's usually in the form of solid blubber. Again- you're trying to get pregnant, so your body might enjoy having some reserves... just a thought... I think chubby pregnant women are the cutest (aww!)
