I'm going through the same situation. I have extremely high levels of testosterone. When my doctor saw my lab results he said i have enough testosterone to give a man an erection. Guess how this made me feel?
He put me on Metformin and thyroid medication. Ever since I started taking the medication I have felt severly depressed. I've started to have suicidal thoughts. When I told my doctor about this he said he was going to test me for cushing's syndrome. I was reading the symptoms and I have a lot of them, but it's confusing because the symptoms are much like those of PCOS.
I do know one thing. Something just has to give because I can't live like this long-term, nor can my family. I know what it's like to live with someone who is depressed. My mom was depressed ever since I can remember. I always felt like I was walking on egg shells. I didn't want to do anything to upset her. Now that i'm going through it myself I can relate to my poor mother who passed away at 52 years of age. I'm trying to do anything and everything humanly possible to improve my quality of life, but I have to admit that I am fighting an uphill battle. |
