Dawn, I am 32 years old. I was put on
anti-depressants, too. Called wellbutrin. I went to
my dr. and explained that I had never been a depressed
person by nature. My plus was medical insurance, and
manipulating drs. It started with obgyn doc. He felt I
wasn't ready for surgeory due to emotional stuff. Go
to your PCP and get anti-depressants...so, I did.
Well, my primary dr. (whom I'd never met before) bless
his soul, said he disagreed, that he felt my emotions
were from polycystic ovaries. So, he sent me to and
endocrinologist, he put me on steroids. When I went
back to my OBGYN, I told him the PCP disagreed with
him. That the endo would've been able to tell where my
emotions were coming from. But, at the same time, I
told my OBGYN...I didn't know what to do...I feel your
the best dr. for me. (If you offend drs. they will
definitely close their ears.)Long story short, other
drs. questioning his approach made him allow me to
have the laproscopy to determine how bad my PCOS was,
and if I had endo. I ended up with a laparotomy to
remove intestine from ovary. From this experience, I
completely disagree with the anti-depressants theory.
Did you express to your dr. you've never had
depression problems till you had medical problems.
There may be a true concern for your body weight and
surgeory not being safe. If you feel in your heart he
really doesn't care, then you really must switch drs.,
it can take months to find the right one. Don't give
up on yourself. I lost 10 lbs, too. (I was only 110 to
begin with - sometimes I think thats why I ended up
with problems-low body weight-too much coffee-soda-and
cigarettes with a bad diet...not a good mix over a
period of years). Take care of yourself. Eat the
yogurt, applesauce, soup. If you get sick, don't give
up. It's so hard...just don't give up. You're never
alone here. I found that out after only 6 days on this
site. We are all mentors to each other. If we all
lived in the same house...could you imagine? 100's of
sick, sick, moaning woman...yet laughing and enjoying
compassion, understanding, and companionship. E-mail
private if you wish. I know your problems are worse
than mine...but, I care for your pain. Love, Marianne
