Hello, my name is Amy, I am from South Africa.
I was recently released from an institution for having schitzophrenia. I only have a mild form from my father.
The reason why I was institutionised was because I was taken to church. The premarin put me in a rage and I smashed items uncontrollably.
When I was hearing voices in my head, it told me to buy fenugreek and saw palmetto, which buggered up by body and mind.
I have been deprived of my hormones for the past 4 years. First year I was completely deprived, so I compensated with Green Tea.
The green tea caused unusual enzymes and I was given half the medication (half of .3).
I was then given a liver scan instead of liver test, which I was finally given at the end of year 3.
Year 3 I've been cheating on vaginal cream, which is also premarin.
I was put in the institution and deprived of proper food, sleep or privacy. I'm emotionally distressed. I studied physics and chemistry to make the time go buy.
It's now year 5 and I'm going to try through a private doctor.
Any help would be appreciated.

Amy,
Welcome to Susan's Place. While we try our best to be supportive, It seems that you have a few issues not related to transgender feelings. Premarin does not cause violent outbreaks and neither does saw palmetto or fenugreek. If anything, many of us report a calming effect, not violent outbursts.
I urge you to work with your doctors to get all your other issues under control before addressing any transgender issues.
Take care.
