My health has been problematic for the past year or so. My endimetriosis death scares, bladder infections, blah blah blah. To stop my endimetriosis pain, I went on Depro Provera last December. Stopping my periods, I thought the trouble would be over.

It wasn't. It only triggered mental problems. My physical problems had ceased to exist, but now, I had developed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I thought about germs constantly. Germs and finger/toe nails. I hated both.

So, to stop that problem, I went on Zoloft. My OCD decreased. I now think about germs as much as the next person. My mind no longer exaggerates what germs can do to me, or where they are, or how they move etc. I also can sleep at night without having terrible fingernail thoughts.

But then, I realized that I had less than $25 dollars in my bank account, and no free drugs compliments of my doctors office. My prescription had to stop.

I had also decided to stop being on Depro Provera. Hoping that if I stop the Depro, my OCD would diminish on its own. Now, I'm back to where I started. No Depro, no Zoloft. Birth control pills and my period.

So far, so good. I've been off Zoloft for almost a week, and my thoughts are going fine. I'm on my first period in seven months, and it's hardly painful at all.

I really hope my body and mind go back to normal; I don't want to have to make the choice between sound body or sound mind.
