Did they take your ovaries, too! I had everything out at 35 (I'll be 50 next month) and for the first 6 months after the surgery I couldn't take the HRT because it feeds endometriosis. The surgeon couldn't get it all during my surgery so it had to die on its own.

My husband used to come in from work at night and look in the front door at the boys to kind of gauge my mood. If it was bad, the boys would shake their heads at him and he'd go down to the chickenhouses for a while. The boys came in from school every day and went straight to their rooms or the woods behind the farm.

I could go from crying, to pi**ed off, to morbid at the speed of light

. I stood outside in 20 degree weather barefoot in a t-shirt and shorts, fanning because it felt like I was burning up from the inside out. I went to bed with ice packs under each arm to keep cool.

When I could finally take the HRT, I felt like I'd died and gone to heaven. I now take Effexor with the HRT, (along with xanax when my husband died) and I'm kind of

human now.

Hey, I was just wondering how you are doing. Did your dr. call in the wellbutrin? It takes several weeks to kick in and if that doesn't work have your dr. prescribe another and give that one a try. I agree that drugs save lives....anyone around us

I have to admit I liked the Wellubtrin...I took it 2 years ago to stop smoking and have never felt better....no mood swings, hot flashes, feeling stressed out.......nothing at all...and it even worked on the smoking. Smoked for over 37 years and next month will be 2 yrs quit.....for me...it truly is a miracle drug...

I played the HRT game for a year after my hysterectomy (in 2002, I was 34) and just said "screw it" and went cold turkey. I have been happy ever since, though I don't have much of a sex drive. The hot flashes and night sweats have tapered off to almost never, too. Breast cancer runs in my family and I would rather have no sex drive than get cancer.

Talk to your doc about all this
