For so many years I would get really miffed when people wrote off any of my bad moods saying "oh it's just her hormones". They would not validate that I had good reason for being in a bad mood.
Later, when my hormones did go out of whack (first peri-menopause then full menopause) I hesitated and suffered before getting hormones, because I was ashamed that my hormones were not under control. (I DID try to control the world back then).
Now that I have replacement hormones, I feel 1000% better and much more stable.
Do what your doctor recommends and if it causes any problems do not be afraid to dosicss it with him/her.
