Had A Partial Hysterectomy. Had Swelling In My Abdomen. Severely Depressed, Overweight. Have Suicide Tendency. Treatment?
I had a partial hysterectomy when i was 40 years old. I noticed imediatetley the swelling in my abdomen that has never went away yet and has became tremendously worse over time. I am now 48 years old severely depressed and very overweight and it's all in my midsection of the belly. I told my last therapist a few years ago that after I lost my father and only baby brother within one year of each other. My father passed at 65 from kidney failure and my only brother died exactly a year later on easter from a tragic tractor accident. I saw his blood smeared on the ground. She told me that I was bi polar and put me on seroquel. The sleep is great, but the depression is very unbearable. I want to come off of seroquel due to weight gain and the side effects i've read about. My husband said that I just looked miserable. My face is very puffy. The belly weight is to awful to even look in the mirror. I am very confused about what to do. Seroquel if for psychosis and I don't feel psychotic anymore because it has been over 4 years since my brother died. I am having severe depression with thoughts of suicide. Please help. I want to discontinue seroquel because of all the side effects but the sleep is so good. I want to know what is my best option. I just want my joy back, good sleep without seroquel and get this ugly fat off of my midsection
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Very sorry for these tragic incidents , which you suffered. Main problem is weight ( over weight ) , so please avoid fried food , oily food and sugar related food items. Take ORLISTAT 120 TWICE IN DAY FOR 100 DAYS. This will reduce your weight. Now depression is main concern. In my opinion please consult a psychiatrist and get his opinion and treatment . Within a short period you will get relief. God bless you. Dr. HET
Qutiapine is approved drug for bipolar mood disorder and psychosis.
It may cause weight gain , puffy face , sedation etc.
It seems that you may have post psychotic depression But other causes need also to be ruled out. For that, you need to consult your psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management.
