I have experienced depression I do not
know if you have any friends that have
been through the same thing you have but I
have a couple of friends who have had a
complete hyst. Too. And when we get
depressed we call on each other. I am
still looking for answers and looking for
a new doctor that can relate a little
better. My doctor I have now does not
seem to ....I do not want to say does not
care but does not seem as concerned with
my depression. I wish I could give you
some answers but there are more of us out
here.

i know how you feel. I had a complete

control and I am now taking 2
anti-depressants, 0 libido. Wish I could
make my husband understand.
Good luck

Anti-depressants can cause loss of
libido!! So maybe try natural
anti-depressants, like 5htp (look up
tryptophan on a search engine) a 30 to 60
minute walk at sunrise which (even if
overcast) is when the suns rays act on
the chemicals in the brain to help reduce
stress. Possibly also dhea, check on-line
via a search engine to see whether you
think it's for you but one known effect is
to increase libido!!
Also relaxation methods like meditation,
yoga, pilates, long hot baths with
essential oils, hobbies & also
affirmations to work on deleting the
negative thoughts/beliefs in your
sub-conscious are all wrth trying, just
remember these things take time.
Good luck

Another good natural alternative for
depression is sam-e. You can get it at
wal-mart, internet, any drug store or
health store. It works well with no side
effects. My son even takes it for a boost
at times. My daughter takes it for those
pms days. I take it daily. They use it a
lot in europe for mild to moderate
depression. Not good for bipolar disorder
though. :d

I am 2 1/2 years post complete
hysterectomy. I am on both estrogen and
testosterone. I believe that it is a
balance between the two that cures the
depression. I am much better with
testosterone, but am getting resistance
from doctor as I try to get more.
Besides mild depression and short term
memory problems, I am having major
difficulties arguing with anyone. I walk
away rather than argue. Libido is non
existant. Joy of life is missing.
