Depression and estrogen?

Posted by TrishP on November 5, 2006, at 10:00:54

I am taking 1mg of estradiol in the morning and 1mg at night. I had my total hysterectomy on Aug. 21st.
I feel fine physically, but mentally I am so depressed. I have never felt this bad in my life.
Could the estrogen be causing the depression?
I can't take any of the SSRIs because they cause terrible bladder problems.
If I feel great physically, why do I want to die?
I wish I could take Lexapro or Prozac or Zoloft - they help my moods - but I can't take the awful side effects.
Is it the estrogen? What am I supposed to do? I'm beginning to regret my hysterectomy!
