Q: severe depression & mood swings

Confused I am new to this forum thing so bear with me please. I am post total hysterectomy 2/12/08. I have been noting alot of different changes and some of them r scaring the heck out of me. One min I can be happy, smiling and go lucky and then turn into ab**** in 5.0 secs, when I am not angry I am crying. I am 35 and my gyno won't put me on hormones becasuse he states I am to young and that they cause blood clots. What else is out there I have been put on anti depressants but they don't seen to be helping. Help!! Crying or Very sad

Welcome to e-health
Sorry you are having symptoms. I have been trying soy milk, and herbal supplements, such as Black Cohosh. They seem to be helping a bit. I am 4 months post-hyst.

You can use progesterone cream...Happy PMS. It is natural and effective for things like that...and almost necessary for preventing other health problems that you will run into down the road. It isn't going to cause blood clotting ( I believe it is estrogen that he is thinking will cause this.)

Since you're problem is hormonal, the anti-depressants are not going to work and may make you even worse.

How long have you been on your antidepressants? I always feel a difference at around 4 weeks.

Take care, I am scheduled for a complete 6/24/08.

A little scared!
