Elayne and Judy,
My gyn indicated that Lupron was a bad actor and he wouldn't even consider it for someone with a mood disorder. The immediate dramatic increase of estradiol followed by the drop off is the reason. Someone without a mood disorder might be able to tolerate it.I just talked to a friend with bipolar who had an oophorectomy (along with the rest) two weeks ago and is already feeling that the hormonal fluctuations may have contributed a lot to her mixed states/rapid cycling. She is doing well. I met her on this board about 2 1/2 years ago. One of those miracle stories.
In a month to six weeks hopefully I'll have a positive result to report.Thanks for all your support. Judy you can give your little one another hug for me.
Blessings,
Chris A.
(I haven't chickened out yet, but have another 13 hours to reconsider).
