Hi, mlb, and welcome to Psych Central! Wow, you've really been through it. I haven't had surgical menopause, but I know it can cause major immediate symptoms.

Have you talked to a female gynecologist about it? I think they can be more sympathetic about us.

I know some of your symptoms have been caused by the meds you've been prescribed and then taken off of.

I think I'd be anxious and depressed just by going through all you've been through. Have you considered going to a therapist? I find them very helpful.
