Zoladex, Tibolone and low mood

Hi all,

Back in the chemical menopause whilst I wait for my hysterectomy and I don't even feel like me and I really need some help.

Since starting Zoladex again (8 days ago) I have been taking Tibolone as prescribed to counter balance the menopausal side effect. I am unsure if it is the Zoladex or the Tibolone but I feel a shell of myself. Constantly crying or having anxiety about the smallest things. I literally have to drag myself out of bed, force myself to eat etc.

Could this just be my body adjusting again? Someone tell me I'm not going mad!

You aren’t going mad, it’s the hormones adjusting or it might just have that effect on you, we vary too much with pesky hormones 🙂

Made me feel awful, still stuck it out for six months 🤦‍♀️ I regret that but ever hopeful it would help the pain. If you don’t want it don’t feel you have to.

Don’t let any dr tell you you have anxiety, unless you normally have it, it’s key to remember how you felt not being on the meds.

Keep an eye on BP as well, put mine up.

Good luck with hysterectomy 🙂

Definitely agree I'm three months off prostap (no hrt) and the mind / mood is still not what it was before. Still very depressed which I wasn't beforehand!!! X
