iv never felt better

and always take my medication as perscribed religiously.

I had also been bleeding (had fibroids too) and getting my period every 2 weeks,

I tried to take my life in September ’07.

I decided the mood swings were so severe that I wanted a hysterectomy and ovarectomy.

I did the hysterectomy and ovarectomy operation in November.

I am still on the same medicaticion as before the hysterectomy,

depakote, Geodon, etc. but I have to tell you all the mood swings have stopped.

Just stopped. I have a life.

Perimenopause/menopause and Bipolar have to be studied, Help stop the madness!

Maybe just something with similar symptoms?

Not making light of anything, but perhaps this could be a hormonal imbalance of some sort?

I know I was never tested for that!

So now I have to wonder just how much of a role our sex hormones have on our emotional and mental health... Come to think of it, the timing from when I started the estratest and the begining of my BP symptoms are closely related! As we all know medicine is a science... Damn - I honestly don't think they will ever really know what causes what and or why... studies are always changing, being challenged and conflict with each other... Grief - I tell you - Greif!

I had also been bleeding (had fibroids too) and getting my period every 2 weeks,

I don't know exactly what is going on with me in this area, I have PCOS, I think that's what it is. Anyway, before I was put on birth control I had a period just about always. I would start, it would last a month or two then stop a couple of days then start back. Now when I take the break for the bc my period won't start. I have absolutely no sex drive except when I'm off my birth control, and it sucks.
