Kramer - Bipolar, Oophorectomy and PMDD

Posted by Chris A. on April 3, 2002, at 0:38:38

Thanks in advance. Is an oophorectomy a reasonable choice for perimenopausal bipolar women whose mood symptoms are exaccerbated by hormonal shifts? The objective would be to be on steady HRT. We have tried many other options in the hormonal/BC category, including Yasmin. SSRIs cause my bipolar to cycle markedly, so they are not an option.
The surgery is scheduled for Monday, but I'm still considering chickening out.
Thanks,
Chris A.
