I am a 54 year old female. I have been prone to depression, in earlier years. I came off paxal cold turkey because of the expense. The withdrawels almost made me go crazy. Now I have symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, lots of nausea, and sadness.. I went to my regular doctor and of course- without ANY bloodwork or exam, wanted to stick me back on Lexapro. I am not going there. I got online and looked at the link between estrogen and depression. The dr. did not check my estrogen level, but the signs of low estrogen and depression are alot alike. I went to the health store today and purchased and estrongen metabolism pil DIM-plus if you have heard of it. If I have to cure myself, I hope I am going the right way ? thanks for helping. Lynne
Hi Lynne, I hope that you are doing really well right now since it's been about a week since you posted. are you able to tell us how things are doing since you decided to take estrogen instead of doing antidepressants? How is this going for you? Please let us know because if it works out for you it might help other people out. Thanks for posting!
