Hi there
I am 42 years old and after a total hysterectomy in March 2012 I have been battling depression and anxiety though did not know this was the issue until I had a "breakdown" 3 weeks ago and the crisis team were called in to help me get fixed. I know I had issued building up before the op that lead to the meltdown but the op did tip me over.
I have been on 50mg Sertraline for 3 weeks which gave me many of the side effects the first 10 days, then I brightened up for a few days now feel that I am back to day 1 last three days :( I am back to Drs on Friday as I have been advised to increase to 100mg.
I am getting my assessment for CBT this week after waiting for over 3 months for the referral.
Has anyone else suffered depression after a hysterectomy and how did you cope?
Good luck to all on your roads to recovery and thank you to those already posted with your updates, inspiration and honest feeling.
