Question:
Can priscription drugs cause people depression & anxiety?
I was priscribed provera for frequent period 6 months ago. I only took provera for 10 days but I had bad side effects. I was not my self. I got extreamly scared of things. I was sweating, very fearful in public places. I threw up alot, couldn't eat, sleep or drink water. I had frequent irrational /bad thoughts. I was a good christian & after I got sick I thought I was possed by the devil. I confided in my mom & she didn't make things any better. She said I was a bad person & I am not going to be a good wife & a mother & my fiance is going to leave me if he found out. I had to go back to the Dr. for the side effects of provera. They gave me xanax & zoloft because I asked Dr.to give me zoloft. I took low doze & stopped taking them 3 months ago. But I still have frequent bad thoughts & I am depressed. Now I am married & pregnant. My husband is suportive & a good man. But I feel aweful for putting him through this. I didn't have mental problems before I took any medications.
Answers:
Live and learn, taking synthetic hormones always carries a risk. If you are depressed why did you stop taking the zoloft, that is what it is for. Well you certainly don't make much sense in what you have written here, and I suspect that is because you are clinically depressed. Would suggest you talk to your gynecologist about treating the depression.
