Need Medication For Anxiety And Stress
Hi .. I had a period may 3 rd before my boyfriend went away to jail then again June 1O but now it's August 1O and it's not back again. I have been super stressed left alone with our 2 children and I have bad anxiety and he will be home in 24 days so I'm even more anxious . Is this just stress or should I be worried?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Stress also leads to irregular menses. In that case, you can start an antidepressant like escitalopram after psychiatrist or gynecologist consultation. You should also take advise of your gynecologist for irregular cycle. For anxiety, along with antidepressant, you can take low dose benzodiazepine or relaxation exercise. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
