 I'm such a freaking mess (this is going to be long)
I've been disagnosed with PCOS for years. One doc knew I had it, my RE in 2002 didn't. After trying to have another child this past year I went to a different RE and he said I defintiely was PCO. I went through fertility treatment, went on Metformin and the whole nine yards. We stopped treatments in September and decided to just adopt sometime down the road.
I've sufferend from anxiety and panic since I can remember but began being treated for it in 1999 when it got debilitating. I was on Zoloft all of this time and doing really well on it. The only time I'd have problems was either if I had bad PMS or if I had stopped taking my meds.
Early this year (possibly in December) I was switched to a generic Zoloft and it seemed to really cause problems. By mid February, I was back to where i was in 1999 and completely not functioning. When I switched back I started doing better after several weeks but then as soon as my period came I was so depressed. This cycle, on CD 21 (my cycles have been 35 days like clockwork since December) I lost it again after having a good week. I've been depressed since then and expect my period this week. Each day is better but I have a lingering bit of depression.
I haven't taken Met since I stopped fetility treatments. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist on Tuesday and one with my RE who has agreed to treat me with PCOS even though I'm not trying to get pregnant. I'm just worried that the pdoc will tell me I'm bipolar or something when my gut tells me it's the PCOS. And I don't even know what to do to get that under control again. I feel like I'll never feel better.
I'm not sure why I'm even writing this. If anyone has a similar experience please share. If anyone had success in helping the depression by controlling the PCOS, share that too. Part of me just wants to go on the pill and do the IR diet and pray that works in addition to my AD meds.
