I am a 34 year old mother of 2 children. I currently use an IUD and am certain that I am not pregnant. I have not had a period in 9 months. I have been experiencing sudden sweats, irritability/depression, easy weepiness, lack of sex drive, crazy fatigue, stress incontinence, achy joints, frequent heartburn, significant weight gain, thinning hair, increased facial hair growth and brittle nails. I was on Depakote, Geodon, Wellbutrin but stopped taking these 4 months ago. I currently take Synthroid and a vitamin D supplement for a diagnosed deficiency. I have also been experiencing a dull, achy pain with occasional burning in the side of my right breast for the last 3 weeks.

I am wondering if I am perimenopausal. I thought my problems could be related to my prescription medications, but prior to February I was still having periods, despite them being light and very long between cyles (anywhere from 45-70 days). Now that I am not taking the 3 psych drugs I would have thought my period would have returned if it was a drug related problem. My gyno did bloodwork in May to check hormone levels and said I was fine at the time, although I am not exactly sure what she was checking for. My own mother is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer so the pain in my breast is especially troubling, although I have read pain is rarely a sign of a tumor.
