Snappish & Depressed

Sisters: I had my surgery on 7/2/08. Physically I have been feeling good. Tired by the end of the work days, but nothing "painful". Over the weekend, I had some MAJOR mood swings. I was fine one minute and the next I was biting my DH's head off for no reason at all. The next minute I was bawling.

I'm on estradiol (since the night of my surgery). I'm feeling really down emotionally. Work is stressful and I'm just a nervous wreck it seems.

I'm on anti-anxiety pills and also an antidepressant (since before surgery) - is this just "hormones" and will it pass - or should I call a doctor?

I'm worried....
thanks for your help.

Yes calling the doctor is a good idea.

Your body has some stored estrogen and it maybe that with the estradiol -- you have to much -- or maybe the reserves have depleted and now you do not have enough.

You are still in recovery mode -- and you have to take care of yourself.

If your work is stressful -- that adds to the tiredness and the crankiness.

Breath deep and call your doctor -- you may just need some slight adjusting to what you are taking.

Best wishes.

Yes call your doctor your hormones may be out of wack, we all handle this different I was glad when I came off estrogen.

Im with them, call your Dr. It sounds as if your hormones are off. It took my mom a long time before they finally got hers level.
