Mental

[mypatunia]

Six years ago I had cervicle cancer. They removed my overies. they called it a hysterectomy. I got through the hot flashes the first three years. the fourth I developed tissue and bone loss. fith and sixth year I begin having mental issues. Sleep disturbances and depression, anxiety attacks, memory loss and more. I took Premerin for the first year, Ive since not taken anything at all. I feel mentally horriable as if something in my brain is chemicly wrong. Dr, wants me on celexa. Three days on it and my heart is papatating. I feel sick on it. I want to feel normal again without the drugs. What should I do? Please help! Victoria.

Hi Victoria. How have you been feeling? Did you stay on the Celexa?

Did you have a complete hysterectomy, including the cervix and uterus along with your ovaries? I have to say that I'm glad to hear your off the Premarin. I would not recommend that med, that's only my opinion. Yes, many of us that have hysterectomies can have the symptoms your having. Since you did have cervical cancer your Gynecologist may not want to put you back on hormone replacement therapy. Celexa can be a good med for some people, others can't tolerate it. There are several other antidepressants your Dr can try you on. This is very common though in the first week or so to  feel sick. These side effects usually go away. You might want to think about giving this med a few more days. The only other advice I can give you is to ask your Dr about trying you on something natural. You might also want to check out bio-identical hormones.
