I would like to know if any of you have server anxiety depression since surgical menopause, also o started with strange symptoms that stated afterwards!! Twitching all over my body , buzzing in my feet , Myoclonus jerks , tingling in my face with my glasses on, stops when I take them off! not sure if this is something called BFS or this is from my surgery, currently on HRT, also I saw a neurologist to rule out having ALS or MS ! The symptoms frightened me so bad I went into the hospital several times because my family would not believe me !! I was put on klonopin Ana have been for a little over a year now and being on that has worried me every time I take one ! I take 0.5mg and was halving it , I have had a psychiatrist now since I came back from being sent away to another state and has to leave my family for 2 months because a case worker thought I needed long term help for this anxiety depression and PTSD causing all all these symptoms....from having my hysterectomy that should not have taken my ovaries or it may have not even been where the pain was coming from at all! They never could figure it out !! They sent me to Florida where I was treated like a drug addict because I was in a drug recording treatment center !! I cried everyday for me family!!! live this everyday , Ans these strange twitches and buzzing . I have had TMS therapy from current psychiatrist , he tried me on Paxil , Zoloft, Lexapro, amitriptyline , latest Pristq which only a week has caused me not to eat for nearly the whole week, more intense anxiety!! Been on Lamictol with the Paxil , remeron. I stay so scared to take meds! I have thoughts , I do not want to wake up and live this like , just thoughts as I panic !! What makes know sense is the anxiety will get better as the day gets later !!! I was up last night till 3am running around the house doing things I would normally do, emailing teachers , cleaning , baking ... just doing things like crazy! I fall asleep Ans wake up panicking the worse anxiety depression that hit me !!! I just want to isolate, I cannot function because my mind races !!! I pace around the house cannot go help my daughter with grandson because of this , do not do anything like I use to . Do not want to be alone, I have to force myself to go out of house because I have to for my youngest two , church , animals but I am panicking the whole time in my head !! I take buspar , up to 60mg, and do not want to take the klonopin!!! I am frightened I will get addicted!! I will take CBD oil and a supplement too just to get the anxiety to stop! I do not see where the Klonopin is even helping anymore, even taking two 0.5mg twice a day!! My husband of 14yrs had a stroke while they sent me away to a place I never should have been , what I went through there will never leave my mind!! None of these things , unexplainable symptoms! Side effects to these drugs scare me
Especially the meds like Latuda , can cause uncomfortable movements !! My husband wants a divorce after 14yrs of marriage and he talks to me awful !! Sleeps in another room ! I use to be the outgoing Mom!!! WIFE! Till all this ! I had six children , 3 boys , 3 girls and that has been my life ! I just do not know why my anxiety depression is so bad up until evening , I have thought The Klonopin may be doing this or not helping! Here I am want help but scared of meds because of all the symptoms I have that can’t be explained, I do not want anything else . I stay home a lot and in my room, then I feel the depression because of me not living as I use to,!!! I have thought that low doses of Xanax could help ? I take estrogen gel. I would love to know if any of you could help me ?

I dont like klonopin. I liked xanax. Klonopin made me feel, after just one pill, like fireworks were going off in my head. I immediately stopped taking it.

I also take topamax, for several reasons, one of which is i have a mild case of epilepsy. Maybe klonopin doesnt mix well with epilepsy, idk.

I did get addicted to xanax, but i slowly weaned off it.

I would ask your dr for a med adjustment.

Hi, mlb, and welcome to Psych Central! Wow, you've really been through it. I haven't had surgical menopause, but I know it can cause major immediate symptoms.

Have you talked to a female gynecologist about it? I think they can be more sympathetic about us.

I know some of your symptoms have been caused by the meds you've been prescribed and then taken off of.

I think I'd be anxious and depressed just by going through all you've been through. Have you considered going to a therapist? I find them very helpful.
