my 18 year old daughter has been on mercilion for pcos for just over a year. Early on she started crying for no reason and is now suffering from severe mood swings. She is angry and is pushing her friends away by critising everyone. This is not how she was before she was prescribed mercillion, could these be side effects? Her doctor has suggested she go on antidepression medication?
Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Use of antidepressant is one option, but that is not complete treatment or solution. It appears to me that bipolar disorder should be ruled out before attempting any antidepressant medication. These could be side effect of current medicine but is unlikely to happen after one year of treatment. At this moment first talk your treating doctor for alternative medication for POD. Second sees a psychiatrist for complete diagnostic evaluation. I hope you got your answer, if you have more questions feel free to post another question. I will be happy to help you. Regards
