Very interesting. Prof Studd is writing to my GP to recommend Zoladex in jections to totally kill my cycle + Livial as 'add back' HRT.
I have been better on 4 pumps + testim + 100mg Sertraline BUT every month my horrible anxiety/depression returns with a vengence, and I just feel dreadful. Panicky, hopeless, no point living etc. Then it suddenly lifts just as quickly as it descended.
From this I ascertain that 4 pumps isn't enough to suppress my cycle, and that sometimes it is too much and causes problems. And, the Sertraline can't stop the horrible hormonal dip (but feel a lot better the rest of the month, and sleep much better).
I KNOW my issues are caused by 'something' changing in my brain, because day 2 day my life really doesn't change. I enjoy my job. I am happily married. My DCs are really lovely and doing well at school. My life is GOOD. But suddenly 'something' shifts in my head, and my life seems bleak and frightening, and I feel panicky and hopeless inside.
