Why so Moody you ask?

I have no real answer. I am happy about my weight lost and I feel healthy physically but some days I am really emotional. I am sure it is connected to my weight loss and my hormones. I am on the Nuvaring for birth control and that used to keep my period at bay until it was time to remove the ring, now my period comes 4 to 6 days ahead of scheduled. I think that losing the weight is releasing hormones that I don't know what to do with. Have any of you ever experienced anything similar? I have been taking zoloft since before my surgery but some how these feeling keep creeping up even with zoloft.

absolutely! All the estrogen that is stored in the fat cells is gushing out. For me being post-menopuase it is like going thru the change again - hot flashes!!!! Now I can tell right when the scale is dropping again as they only happen when the fat is burning again after the stall is done. At first it was everyday!

Might want to look into an anti depressant, I think zoloft is a little more for anxiety. maybe adding an antidepressant will even you out.

I am on a very high dose of Effexor for depression and it doesnt do anything for this problem. Yes I am less dperessed tho but I do think it doesnt absorb as well as it did previously.

are you on the effexor XR?

no as that is time released and I thought we couldnt use those

you're right.  I was concerned you got some by mistake.

 
No wisdom, but I know a lot of ladies have been through a similar experience with mood swings, contraceptive hormones, and period schedules.  Hopefully they will chime in soon.

Hang in there!
