> One caveat tho: exogenous estrogen causes or exacerbates depression in certain women. women who've had bad reactions to oral contraceptives and women with bipolar disorders should seek expert advice before considering estrogen.
My worst, killer depressions were on oral contraceptives.. .from the progesterone. Which I now take as micronized progesterone, and tolerate just fine. My understanding was that progesterone is the primary depressive prob. with o.c.s. . and PMS. .
I get a tiny hit from yr post that you're anti-estrogen? No? There *are* better forms than Premarin. . .
