I'm brand new to this forum, but glad I found it! I've been on Zoloft for depression/anxiety for almost a year now, but it's something I've struggled with since high school.
I've begun to notice my depression symptoms being worse around the time I ovulate, two weeks before my period is due. All I want to do is cry, but I can't! And it feels like there are too many tabs open in my brain! I'm tired but too restless to sleep extra... so frustrating.
I'm 23 and have a copper IUD. Anyone else dealing with this?

I was that way too. I had terrible pms. That is why I started taking the antidepressants in the first place. But then I ended up clinically depressed.

Welcome to the forum Farmmama. I am glad you found us. What you are going through is kind of normal for hormones. It happens with ovulation. Generally I would feel better when I started my cycle.

Hugs, Karen...

Welcome.

Talk to your Gyn about the IUD and if it could be causing these systems.
Important!

If it is not the IUD, the GYN may have a idea of what is going on with the horomones.

Peace and strength
