[QUOTE="Josie, post: 277830, member: 1792"] Maybe you could try one of the SSRI's that is easier to get off from than Paxil? Paxil is supposed to be one of the worst to stop. My daughter has Lyme disease, migraines, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We have been working for 2 years to get it all under control. We used to try to change only one thing at a time, because that is the most prudent thing to do, but it was taking forever to get anywhere. So I started trying supplements and changing her medications at the same time. Finally, we might be seeing a little bit of progress. I don't know what it is from and I don't care. We will keep doing it all. Eventually, we will try to stop medications/supplements and see which ones are doing what. So with that background, I would say take the a/d and the hormones. You've been depressed/anxious for a while now. You felt better on Paxil even before the hysterectomy so this might not be just menopause. Also, based on my experience, you might know if you don't need the SSRI any more because the hormones have started working. I was taking Lexapro and made a diet change. I could immediately tell that I had too much serotonin and needed to stop the Lexapro. I was able to wean off pretty quickly because I had a natual boost of serotonin to make up for the lack of Lexapro. [/QUOTE]
