I have struggled with my hormones and periods since I was 15. For 20 years now. I have tried every pill available and they all had severe mental affects.
During ovulation and a week before I come on I get an overwhelming sense of paranoia, anxiety and general low feeling of myself and everything around. I have been prescribed fluoxetine which didn’t work and now cilatopram which is also proving unsuccessful because they cannot cope with the short spike of emotions and feelings. i have now been referred for cbt to see if this has any effect.
On top of this the periods themselves are getting worse. I am bleeding extremely heavy. I can’t leave the house. I got through a super plus tampon in under twenty minutes. The pain is unbearable and it is taking over my life.
I Am my wits end with my hormones and periods. Hey are effecting my home and work life and mental health. I have an appointment with my doctor again next week but I’m just looking for any help and advice I can from other women who suffer the same. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. X
