I am IP often and it amazes me how many women there are like me. |
I kept my ovaries. I started having crying spells and fits of rage. I did not track how long each lasted. I went to my gynecologist and told her I thought I was going through menopause. She explained no because I had my ovaries. I was confused. We did so many tests. They even did a cat scan. Then she concluded I was depressed and started me on a AD but it was too strong. She changed it to Celexa and things went downhill from there. I got worse and worse
