I am post menopausal and became destabilized I firmly believe because of my doctor's inability to see that lack of estrogen was worsening symptoms.
If you have noticed a deterioration of your mood during menopause, I recommend you see someone (maybe a gynecologist) about this issue.
Unfortunately by the time I started estrogen replacement therapy I had already become destabilized because of my doctor changing all the medications that had worked for over 10 years in an effort to overcome a mild depression which I believe was caused by estrogen.
I have yet to find anyone that can subtantiate the effect of estrogen decrease on cycling. But I am sure estrogen induced cycling and lack of estrogen induces depressive symptoms. The latter I believe is well documented.
Don't neglect the menopausal aspect.
> Thanks for all the good info on Remeron. I rely on this site for all my mental illness problems. I've just been approved by the state to get financial help for seeing a pdoc. What can I expect? I saw him before and have been taking celexa ever since and I also take remeron from my regular doctor for insomnia. We never talked much because I couldn't afford to stay more than a half hour. I am 49 years old, going through menopause, poor, always in pain and am hoping he can show me how to be happy. Ha! Do you think therapy helps and how? Sometimes I wonder if a person really would be better off dead. Thanks for listening and please sent feedback. S
