does having pcos cause agitation?

I totally agree that PCOS causes agitation. I was insanely agitated before I started to lose weight, I was never happy and was constantly snapping and/or yelling at my son and my partner at the time. As I started to lose the weight and eat low carb, my agitation slowly started to improve. I still have my moments, but now they are few and far between and everyone is happier for it!

just wanted to let ya know that there was a really yummy ice cream by blue bunny....its called no sugar added bunny tracks. thats a good thing to have when your craving sweets

I've been going to accupuncture and eating a no refined carb diet since I was diagnosed with PCOS two months ago. I've been losing steady weight and feeling happier, calmer and a thousand times less 'psyco'. I've been so good. My cravings were almost gone. On Friday I didn't plan well enough and was caught out without the right foods. So I had carbs. I have been eating eating bad bad stuff since, three days now and I'm depresed and angry and like my BFF says, a hot mess, minus the hot. Even though it's been mere days since I fell off the wagon I feel the weight creeping back. It's a horrid experiment to play with my happiness like that but it's been an insightful one. In the past there were times where I almost thought I was going insane. To have a diagnosis feels like a life raft. I know that when it comes to my true happiness a cupcake or a baguette is the WRONG answer. I haven't cried or yelled or felt uncontrollable since I pulled those things out of my diet, until this weekend. How wild is that?

I know that there are alot of herbal rememdies, but I haven't tried any or even remember what they are now. LOL that's the other thing about hormones, they put you in a brain fog.

yes I hear yah girl I am not on any medicine for pcos but i been so agitated i want to jump out of my skin i really hope to get this taken care of. i need to get rid of this agitation. any suggestions?

I have been so agitated/irritable the last few days. It must be my hormones, and this pcos. I've been on the nuvaring for almost a year. I lost 18 lbs, but it's been awhile since I've lost anymore. Ugh! It's just so frustrating. Thank you to this group, and helping!

yes I am the same way. I know i am addicted to it all even food my weakness is cheese and pasta! and oh those donuts sound so good I am also a binge eater! it sucks that i find comfort in eating so much.

I think that the shakiness comes from being addicted.
I really believe I am addicted. Last night I couldn't find anything sweet to eat and all I could do is pace and keep looking in the cabinets trying to find something. It was awful!! I really felt like an addict. Then tonight I ended up binging on donuts, candy bars and chips. Now I feel like a bloated pig I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm having a terrible time gettting the right mind set

that is how I feel, I eat a lot of carbs so many people tell me to not eat so many carbs they just say eat a low carb diet but i always feel like I need carbs i get shaky without them or without sugar maybe im just so addicted to them. but the agitation is so bad i hate it I just started getting it and i know it's from my harmones it makes me nut's i get so agitated i feel like im going to jump out of my skin and i can feel agitation all over my limbs.

yes, I get it bad but it's a lot better the less carbs I eat. if I eat high carb I get so aggitated that I can't sit still, my knee is always bouncing, I snap at my grandkids or hubby, and I can't focus on anything.

LOL me too. i've been out of work for 3 months and i have been eating out of depression, aggravation,
and sometimes boredom. that's why i came back to spark people, trying to get back in the right state of mind

well i'm glad to know this now so i can work on it better cause lately i been stuffing my face just to eat away my problems only to make more problems for myself.

There is definitely aggitation with PCOS!! I get that way so bad that I could scream sometimes. It gets better and worse depending on your weight. Which it is that way with all the symptoms. The heavier I get the worse it all gets and the worse it gets the harder it is to lose for me.

yes cause i also have higher testostorone. what kind of medicine will they give for the agitation? its driving me crazy i even went to a psych ward cause i was so agitated so now im on antidepressant's and they said it's all anxiety but i think its from my harmones.

YES!! I have agitation. I have read in several places that it is a symptom of PCOS. I have noticed the more weight I lose, the lower my symptoms are. I'm working really hard to get this weight off so that I'll feel better. There are probably drugs to help, but I just don't want to take them.

i know i have pcos havent had my period in 3 months and all the other symptoms and my doc said i prob have it too but does it cause agitation cause i been suffering from horrible agitation since my periods have been irregular . how can this go away?
