My doc wants to add this to the estrogen and I made it very clear that my depression control is more important than the bleeding, etc. I just thought menopause might have provided some relief to me, not more issues than just having to slap an estrogen ptch on 2X/week. I should have known that nothing in my life from a medical standpoint has ever been problem free. 30 years of depression and now menopause and my one attempt to feel better using the estrogen patch has flared up another issue.
I told the nurse I was leery of Progesterone with my depression and said I haven't worked in a year and a half due to it and she said she would go back and speak with the doc about this.
I should have known the minute I mess with my body it rears up and causes more problems. The end of my period was a godsend and now its back in full swing.
What a messed up body and mind. Interestingly enough, these past years when my depression was out of control perhaps it was really perimenopause. I just wish the doctors knew more about what is going on than I do, I thought that was what they did. Now I know they are all just guessing themselves. I used to think they knew what was going on, boy was I fooled by the medical profession, it really is very gray and uncertain. More guessing and experimentation just like treating depression.
