Hi all

I'm new to the forum, I have mild endometriosis had a diagnostic lap in 2014 over the last few years have been struggling with pain, Consultant has started me on prostap and tibolone, with the prostap my moods have been so low almost suicidal,lack of sleep no interest to do anything, very anxious heart racing , I've had 2 injections and hadn't started the tibolone as thought I would wait untill I get symptoms of the menopause as didn't expect the low mood I only started tibolone last Friday, GP says I have to grin and bear with this, anyone else experience any of these symptoms? and is there anything I can do ..? Any help would be grateful. I'm waiting to hear back from the consultant as not seeing her till October 😲 I just didn't expect these symptoms at all..

I found any hormone made me feel very very depressed. So now am hoping for a surgical solution.

Yes. I am lucky to be in position where I have had my children and I cannot see another way. I have tried the coil and even the tiniest amount of hormone affects me almost worse than the endo.

Hi Newbie, I think some doctors put us straight onto the GNRH injections without thinking of the side effects and how it effects us...start the Tibolone, and see if there is any change in your mood, otherwise go back to your consultant and let them

know what is going on..I became very very anxious, heart racing, palpitations, depression, lethargy, hair loss.. Please be very careful with the injections... I took magnesium tablets which helps with the anxiety, ive been to boots and brought Nytol which helps with sleep...
