Yes - everything was taken out - no ovaries anymore. At least now I don't have the awful mood swings - just deep, black depression.

I'm only taking oral estrogen. I couldn't tolerate the synthetics. I do have some testosterone cream, but I haven't been good about taking it.

I talked to the pharmacist today and he said the side effects from the SSRIs are dose related.

But, I've also read about some people having neurogenic bladder caused from the use of SSRIs.

I'm not sure at this point what to take.

My OB/GYN suggested a low dose of Zoloft, but I'm afraid of side effects.

I haven't tried any of the old ADs for fear of weight gain, but they may be an option.
