Total Hysterectomy and Depression with Memory Lapse
Posted: 02-18-08 12:05pm

After my hysterectomy Jan 2003, I haven't felt the same. After multiple different HRT's, Anti depressants on and off again. I still get seasonal depressed and most of all, short term memory. I hate feeling different, everything bothers me, loud noises, anxiety, fear, depression and loss of sex drive. i'm calling my doctor yet again to go back on a different anti depressant. Is this normal or does anyone out there share the same symptoms! I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I'M GOING CRAZY FOR NO REASON? stretch Crying
or Very sad

I have the same symptons, thought I I was the only one. My hair has thinned dreadfully as well. The depression just does not want to lift.

hysterectomy and memory loss
Posted: 07-27-08 15:15pm

Hi, i had a hysterectomy in 1/08... over the past 2 months, i too have a difficult time retaining information. I too feel depressed at times. I am using the estrogen patch which does help. I tried using natural creams but it didn't work, I was way too emotional, crying too much. My boss, a male, doesn't understand what's wrong with me because I can't remember some things but for me to tell him that after my hysterectomy this happened, he wouldn't understand or really care. So I'm going to have to start writing things down.

I just feel unhappy with everything and I shouldn't be. I have a great family, very little debt, my health, a pretty good job.... i may not be rich with money but I'm rich in other ways. I really don't want to go to a doctor. I don't want to take any medication. I felt so great in the beginning, so I'm bummed about feeling like this now. Embarassed

I thought I was alone feeling like this... I didn't realize how important ovaries were!

My sister-in-law recommended Black Cohosh. I have tried it for a few months. My hyst. was total with ovaries removed. It seems to help a bit. It does get better.
