I need help!!
I dont know whats going on..
November 2014 i experienced sudden headaches and panic attacks
Mris and ct scans on brain and heart revealed all was fine. I ended up quitting my job in spring 2015 and now work at home. I was put on zanax and kolonpin during this time and was just feeling very drugged also was put on 3 diff ssris with no help. They made me feel lathargic and sick. After i quit those benzos and ssris
I then last spring started experiencing feelings that i would hurt myself my hubby and kids.
I started seeing a couselor who thought maybe the drugs induced the things i was going through
Fast forward i am then at a natural dr who says ots hormones, and puts me on biodentical hormones and lexapro.
Lexapro made me tired and they both made me gain weight
I then quit them all together.
With the pain of my cycles and its always off track i am just frustrated. Now whats really crazy is i suddenly get these moments the week before and the first few days of my cycle that my husband makes me angry. He could look at me and make me angry..he is the best husband and dad ever. I dont enjoy anything anymore. I was put back on progesterone this time as a cream and told to give it 3-6 months. I am still having these hellish mood swings. I notice they get worse with coffee and if i had too much beer. Feels like my mind races. And its the wosrt feeling ever. How would i wake up being bipolar?? Im scared and just want to go back to the old days
I exercise 6 days a week lofting and running. Some times i notice when i run a long distance it makes me very irritated? The only thing i am worried about these days is my weight and how skinny i can be. I just want to be happy me again.. im tired of being drugged up on everything. I tried 5htp and it made me more moody, tried ltrytophan and it made me not sleep and angry
.someonw please help
My obgyn suggested its probably pmdd with endometresosis. Im constantly crying and frustrated

Yes, the side effects of medication are frustrating. Sedation and weight gain are common (I suffer terribly but I know the huge personal cost of not taking them is worth it).

Womens health issues very much affect mental health. My doctor and I got that under control (I get a shot of depo-provera every 3mos) and that really improved things both physically and emotionally.

My understanding is the progesterone is supposed to help with the endometriosis symptoms.

Lifestyle changes are mentioned. Is reduction of caffeine and a non alcohol lifestyle an option for you? Both can have health risks, physical and emotional.

Have you reached out to any in person support groups? Are you continuing with therapy?

I hope you are able to find some relief.
