 Feeling Overwhelmed by so many Meds
Hi. I too am bipolar. I was dx'd w/PCOS last year. I had a hysteroscopy and d&c. The gyno sent me to an endo bc she wants me to take OCP to protect my uterus but my PCP thinks it's too risky bc of my cholesterol. The endo wants to put me on Met, Lipitor, and OCP. I already take meds for Bipolar, hypothyroidism, asthma, and anemia. I'm a little scared to take so much more. But I feel so tired all the time I can't do anything and no matter what I do I can't lose weight. I feel like a failure. I can't think - my brain feels like it's in a fog. So if this will work I guess I'll give it a try. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Does PCOS make the Bipolar worse? I know my PMS is totally out of control and I take 40mg of Prozac. So if the new meds will help I'll try. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. TIA. |
