Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression about a year ago. Finally about 3 weeks ago, I really felt better. My doctor and therapist were very pleased, but now I feel so much worse and I don't understand it. I don't think I'm suicidal, but I sure wish I was. Does anyone else feel like that? I'm nervous, sad, want to die but can't do it myself. I even think I just haven't found the right method yet.
Avatar m tn I know from personal experience. Natural testosterone cream reduced my blood sugar, triglyceride and cholesterol levels to a normal range. My depression lifted and my enegry levels increased. When testosterone is converted to DHT and estrogen it can be problematic. But there are safe and effective way to prevent that from happening. I'm not considering testosterone treatment for my baby but I know that an imbalance of hormones can effect the body in many ways, not just sexuality.
Avatar f tn TSH is a pituitary hormone and is an indicator of actual thyroid hormone status, at best. While most doctors do, it should never be used as the sole indicator of a thyroid condition. You should also ask for thyroid antibodies to rule out Hashimoto's, which is an autoimmune thyroid condition that destroys thyroid function. The tests you need are Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOab) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb).
Avatar n tn I have also been experiencing other perimenopausal symptoms, difficulty sleeping, night sweats, occasional heart palpitations, vaginal dryness, mood swings and depression. My PCP checked various blood work, FSH ( within normal range) low Vit D, ( replaced) and because my periods are still regular, although much less flow, he does not believe I am perimenopausal. I disagree. Is it safe to assume that I , in fact, am in perimenopause?
Avatar m tn Or do I just go on estriol cream/patch or estrogel cream....and then figure out if I need t add more, and how do I figure that out - how does one know if she needs progesterin/progestin or testosterone added (either the medical kind or the bio identical kind).
Avatar f tn My gyn started me on a progesterone cream for some abnormal hormone levels and to hopefully help with anxiety/depression. I use it for 3 weeks, off for 1 week, then repeat it. So far, I've just used it for this one cycle and restarted just today and today, I started bleeding. Not sure if it is related to the cream or a period. My gyn did say if bleeding started, to call her and she may have to adjust the dose or something like that. Not sure if I should call her right away or not.
Avatar m tn Hi sorry hormone therapy will not help at all , there are no pills or cream to make your penis any bigger , take care ,
1258539 tn?1293840202 I have severe anxiety/depression/depersonalization. I went to my doctor yesterday and he said that my numbers for estrogen are low because I have so much anxiety/depression that my body is using up the estrogen where it shouldn't be. He said that if I got my anxiety/depression under control then my estorgen would go where it should. Has anyone ever heard of this? And he put me on Cymbalta 60 mg but I only took 30 mg last night as I was scared to try something new.
Avatar n tn recently I have been back and to to the doctors for anxiety, something I have battled with all my life. I have now been put on sertraline a treatment for depression that hasn't helped and I an now weaning myself off. I am starting to think I may be suffering from a hormone imbalance as my symptoms seem to go when I start my period.

Avatar f tn I was sure it was something hormone related and would appreciate any input. My doctor thinks my symptoms are from sleep deprivation. I have dealt with depression for 10 years now and know this is more but I don't know what. Stats: 33 yo female 172 lb, 5'4" Mirena IUD Estrogen Total 691 pg/mL (no range given. I have not menstruated for two years due to Mirena) Progesterone 0.8 ng/mL TSH 4.16 (0.27 - 4.
Avatar f tn She started me on 25 mcg for this first month and I am also on biest progesterone testosterone vaginal hormone cream 25 mg daily. The levo seems to be making a little bit of a difference but I am wondering how long it takes for it to take full effect. I have to let her know at the end of this month how its going.
12975971 tn?1428009678 With that information in my case, she put me on Progesterone cream. My estrogen was low, but my Progesterone (the happy hormone) was even lower in ratio to Estrogen. Progesterone can convert into Estrogen if your body needs it. She also gave me a homeopathic remedy that fit my symptoms. I no longer feel depressed and am no longer crying at the drop of a hat. It took a few weeks to a month. I am under stress even today, and it continues to work for me.
Avatar f tn Lil Lady is correct. Progesterone is a hormone supplement, so you have to have a dr's prescription to get it. Why were you thinking about starting it? Did a doctor recommend it?
200220 tn?1361951554 Dr. Lupus: My holistic doctor gave me natural progesterone cream to use to help me stabilize my moods and pick up the free estrogen that is floating in my body. My question to you is it dangerous to use with taking levothyroxine 37.5 with having hashimotor disease. My doctor is an MD also and seem to be very knowledgeable about the thyroid along with helping me with celiac disease. What is your experience with this natural product.
Avatar f tn Took new saliva test and went to new hormone specialist. She changed me to cream (bio-identical also) plus added 4 adrenal food supplements. I have taken the same blood pressure med for 17 years and kept my levels normal. After using the hormone cream and adrenal supplements for three weeks, my blood pressure soared. My doctor took me off the supplements, but my blood pressure was still dangerously high. She doubled my present BP med plus added another med before it would come back down.
Avatar m tn What do you mean by this? Anxiety and depression are two totally different things. The anxiety I have experienced led me to believe I was having a heart attack when on the other had the type of depression I have experienced was more lathargic and lack of drive. I don't experience anxiety as much as I do fatigue and aches. Usually the fatigue and aches peak during the day time and subside once I am off work and at home in the evening.
1112615 tn?1258650318 I have been taking the phytoestrogen and progesterone cream for 2 weeks now. I have a little more energy and the depression/anxiety has pretty much subsided but I am still getting some headaches and some hot flashes during the day plus bad night sweat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on getting rid of these hot flashes. Whew!! I also take plenty of vitamins because have been fighting bronchitis and sinuses.
Avatar f tn All is negative. I go 4 months no period , 2 months med to heavy period. Is this a hormone imbalance?
1031264 tn?1318524241 t want it clouding my CD21 progesterone test to check if I ovulated - turned out I got pregnant but lost it very early. My hormone doc suggested I take this cycle off TTC and start the cream early from CD6 to build up my progesterone for a month which is what I'm doing. Next month when I go back to TTC I will use it a day or so after I have ovulated and continue that for a few months.
6560305 tn?1384773211 The bleeding was getting so out of control i had it out and another one back in to see if it would make any difference.. That was when the depression came.. Obsessive intrusive thoughts for weeks, crying at anything and everything, can't sleep, overwhelming feelings of anxiety, feeling scared and paranoia... Gradually after a month i managed to get over it and got back to my normal self.

5143317 tn?1383747820 Weight gain, inability to lose weight, depression, mood swings, inability to control my emotions, low sex drive, dry skin, not sleeping good, etc. Could the low end vitamin D be causing the symptoms? I've had cortisol, various hormones and all thyroid tests, everything is normal. If the vitamin D could be the culprit, what is a safe way to supplement. I've bought some 5000IU d3 pills, but after reading a little more I'm scared to take them daily.
