A member asked:
Over active thyroid on methimazole 10mg 3x daily been taking since dec. also had implanon put in end of oct but been moody and annoyed lately help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I doubt it's the: Thyroid. Implanon overrides ovulation and the production of estrogen which does have activity on neurons and their tendency to sprout (ie connect, make new thoughts). This can lower your stress threshold making u more moody. Estradiol 2 mg tablet, 1/2 at night may help but it may have exacerbated an underlying tendency. If so a low dose ssri ay help along with help for poor sleep and low energ.
