I had switched my non-baby maker medication recently, and I instantly noticed an improvement in my day to day moods. I was snapping like crazy, or yelling at people for the simplest things. I wasn't touchy. I wasn't quite so.... mean. I felt normal. Like for once, everything was going to be okay. I havent felt like that in a while.
I also noticed that my lady-time was more predictable, and it was a little easier to bear this month. But two days ago, I got the worst cramps. I was tired all the time. I just wanted to sleep and make it go away. I think that I had some "cleaning" out to do, as before I wasn't quite as....regular... and that usually caused a few moments of panicking, a pregnancy test, followed by sheer joy when I started the next day, and also disappointment that I spent money on the test. Sigh.
Other months would be quite the opposite.
However despite the craziness over the last few days I feel better as a whole. Its so strange how medications can alter your moods so dramatically.
Also it probably helps I have been eating ice cream and sleeping a lot. :)
He took my last name when we got married. I took on the challenge of motherhood and losing the 80 lbs I gained
I never took non baby making pills but I remember when my daughter had the shot and she was a different person so yea, you're probably right about it affecting your mood.
ReplyDeleteIce cream has a way of making me happy.... It's too bad we couldn't self medicate with ice cream and not gain a pound.
Hope you're back to your old self soon.
