hormone hell - help

Posted by tiffanywp on September 16, 2005, at 20:52:14

long story short - am a 34 y.o. mom of 3 under 5. i just weaned (breastfeeding) 3 months ago - subsequently got my first period in 4 years (b/c have been pregnant or breastfeeding for past 4 years) since return of period, i am having major irritability and also some panic attacks (which i have had before in between babies) - but my panic attacks do not match the symptoms i read abt online. i think they are more anxiety attacks. def. do not fit the GAD description or any description. basically KNOW my symptoms are cyclical and hormonal. my OB recommends lexapro - i hesitate in taking a drug though. have tried natural methods - exercise , evening primrose, essential fatty acids. but today's random mother of all 'anxiety attacks' has prompted me to make appt w. OB - who i know will suggest, again, lexapro - which i am scared to take. i am sensitive to all drugs, antibiotics, birth control - all make me itch or crazy! what are your thoughts on this, if you dont mind? also afraid of weight gain, am a thin person by nature and since onset of period have gained 8 pounds - all in stomach (water weight?) - also making me depressed. am not a depressed person - but a vain one - and changes in my looks effect me greatly. anyone w. any ideas/ thoughts - pah-lease respond. i am losing my effing mind! :) thanks
