Hi...I have not had a hystrectomy but I have to say I really think anxiety can be caused by a hormone imbalance in some people.  I am one of them as well as my aunt.  

I know exactly when I ovulate because that is when my anxiety increases.  I am going to speak to my gyno about this and have him run tests to check for hormonal imbalances.  This has been going on since my pregnancy with my twins in 07.  So I really think there is a link.

I would suggest you talk to your dr about it.  My mother had a hystrectomy but she was able to keep an ovary so I don't think she ever had to take hormones.  Good luck I hope you find the answers you are searching for....
