I did notice that I was very tearful the day before my period started this last time. if I go to my pdoc she might up my doses and that's what I don't want. At least I am still taking my Depakote- sometimes I get so manic that I simply don't take it! Abilify didn't work last time when I was seeing things - it just made me SO hyper. One of the rare side effects- or rather, couldn't sit still. OMG this itching is maddening!! |
Hey Moose... Did you recently have the IUD removed... It could be your body adjusting to the loss of hormones as well.... Here is a link to a site that explains perimenopause...

I understand not wanting to take new meds with all of the possible side effects that would be difficult to handle and take classes...
I hope you are feeling better today...
TJ
