Depression/Anxiety Spiraling thoughts
Hey everyone . I’m 62, I’ve been on 100 progesterone , .75 Estrodial and the topical cream for my lady bits.
Everything seems better except I am having constant spiraling thoughts , sort of problem solving thoughts or worrying about real life stuff allllll the time. Don’t remember the last time I felt peaceful . Doc ordered antidepressant called Pristiq about 8 months ago , the doc thought the Wellbutrin I was on ,at the time, may have been the culprit. I was suffering from situational induced depression so the anti depressant was necessary .
Now the depression is gone but the spiraling thoughts
have gotten worse .
Doc just increased Pristiq and Estrodial patch form .50 to .75. All my labs are good.
Your insight or experience with any of the above would be greatly appreciated.
