He has increased the dosage since and where the hot flashes are subsiding, the mood swings are now way out of control. Watching a commercial can literally send me into a complete crying tail spin. I have tried over the counter hormone creams, vitamins such as black cohash and all kinds of other things that "older" ladies have recommended and nothing seems to be working. I am not depressed or anything like that so i do not need those type medications.
Hi, I am 17, I am on Depo Provera and am having side effects such as constant bleeding (1 month and half) and the common mood changes. I was told that if I take estrogen I can minimize the bleeding or even stop it...However I was informed by a nurse that due to breast cancer running in my family if I starting to take an estrogen pill so early it can potentially make my risk of breast cancer even higher for the future.
I had my hystercomy 12/2006....I have had hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings almost every night before and after my hystercomy.
My mother-in-law told me that I did not have a total hystercomy if I am still having night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, and etc.....
my question is.....Am I going crazy or is it normal to have those systoms?
I also have low thyroid so take meds for that as well. There are different methods of delivery for the estrogen and testosterone: pills, creams, gels, patches and pellets. I get the pellets. They are implanted under the skin on my hip about every 3-5 months.
I also recommend seeing a doctor that specializes in bioidentical hormones and menopause.
Good luck!
I am having very bad hot flashes,mood swings,and fatigue,sometimes insomia. I have been on estrogen since Oct.2008,my O.B. wants me to take Effexor 37.5mg twice daily to help with the hot flashes and mood swings. My concern is that I was previously on Zoloft 50mg. and it gave me real bad headaches raised my blood pressure and sent me on a emergent run to the hsp. emergency room,,I am concerned about starting this medicience that it will cause the same problems or worse. My O.B.
Why do pregnant women have mood swings ??????
I loved Femara (I've used it all ;)) I had no side effects on Femara, felt like it was a very 'natural' cycle...no increased mood swings, no intense ovulation pain, etc.
I ended up getting pregnant on a natural cycle, but still credit Femara with 'jump-starting' my body ;)
The only thing that was a bit unique for me, from what I've read on posts, is that I took ALL my Femara pills on CD3.
With menopause some experience hot flashes, chills, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep problems, mood swings and many other unwanted symptoms. These menopausal symptoms can also be the result of chemotherapy, ovarian ablation, and hormone therapy. Women can get relief from these symptoms by opting for Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women. It helps in balancing the estrogen and progesterone levels.
Lately I have been experiencing anxiety, some insomnia, happy/sad mood swings. I feel like packing my bags and running away. I pray to be nice and not let me say something mean especially towards my mom.I had a full hysterectomy in 2005 but was never prescribed any hormone pills. The doc said I didn't need any. I woke up this morning wanting to cry for no reason. Yesterday I spoke to my daughter about maybe needing a chill pill. Im tired of feeling like this.
He even takes an estrogen pill to prevent highs. But he is battling mood swings still and is constantly upset he is not getting enough sex, which is average or better than average. There is weekly or biweekly intense arguing. It is ruining our marriage. He was told to exercise to help the swings and he says he does at work but I don’t know for sure. Has anyone else experienced this.
My life has taken a turn for the worse after breastfeeding. Hormonal fluctuations gave me terrible migraines and weakness and i was getting all sorts of symptoms from low estrogen. I had it pre pregnancy all my life but it's exponentially worse now. With the suggestion of my previous endo i tried birth control pills.
1. Microgynon 20: fixed migraines but have me daily headaches, joint pain, dryness, and terrible mood swings and back pain (I'm still going to physio.
I have had endometriosis for years and it's been fairly easily controlled (after lapro surgery several years ago) by non stop low dose birth control pills. Now that I'm in my mid 40's, I'm having a few subtle symptoms of it again but I'm mostly noticing wild mood swings, depressions, weight gain that no matter how much I work out and eat right seems to help, more cramps, etc. I was wondering if the estrogen in my b.c.
Studies show that ovary removal or post-hysterectomy ovarian failure increases risk for many health problems including heart disease (the #1 killer of women), osteoporosis, hip fracture, cognitive and memory impairment, dementia, Parkinsonism, mood disorders (depression, mood swings, anxiety, irritability), vision and skin changes, poor sleep quality, urogenital atrophy, sexual dysfunction, more severe hot flushes (I think that's all of them!).
m not the only one.
Anyone else having mood swings? I am 30 weeks & 2 days and for the past week I have been so moody! Everything has irritated me and when I do get mad I stay mad for a little bit and I hate it.. I try to hold it in but then I explode and feel bad for yelling at husband. I feel like a huge cow, can't sleep, & it's hard to move around. I can't stand my dog either. She annoys the crap out of me..lol. I'm just ready for this pregnancy to be over lol.
