What would you do? So before my surgery I was on my meds from my psychiatrist. My effexor(antidepressant) my lamotrigone( bipolar med) and my buspar( anxiety med). 

I was also prescribed by my gynecologist my birth control pills which were prescribed one for birth control and 2 to level my Estrogen out because it was low. Then he prescribed a 1 mg Estradiol to stop my break through bleeding. Everything is straight. Well after my surgery took me of the birth control ok that's fine. But also told me to stop the estradiol well I did Monday when they called and said to stop until he checks my levels again. Well tues and last night I've been waking up with panic and anxiety. I think it's cause that so I took one today. Idk

    Wow, I would still take the medicine, however consult with your PSYCHIATRIST about that change, remember the PSYCHIATRIST prescribed you those, not the GYN. I didn’t take mine for 2 days and with the pain, I was having suicidal thoughts, which I addressed to GYN and the. Psychiatrist. I was told to take my meds as I had before surgery.

      I do still take all my meds that my psychiatrist prescribed.  The only thing I’ve stopped taking is my birth control and my estradiol 1mg.  When off the estradiol tho I’ve noticed my anxiety has increased. I’ve been waking up several times through the night drenched in sweat, nightmares and anxiety almost to a panic attack. Oh and crying out of nowhere for absolutely no reason. I was under the impression that with your ovaries left that the hormones r still working. It very discouraging and to be honest I felt better in my first 2 weeks then I have my 3rd week.
