When I read about you ladies out there I get so frustrated.  You say you can't handle it any more or go on anti depressants and hrt meds.  I just get sick to my stomach when I read that because I was there in October.  I couldn't function either I had bad depression, anxiety, heart palpations, night sweats,headaches, forgetfulness, no sex life, awake all night you name it I had it.  Yes at first I did go on anti depressants it was the easy way out.  But when I first took it at 50 mg it made me suicidal and scared me to death.  I went to 25 mg and still didn't like the way I felt good one day and crappy the next.  But I didn't give up I searched the internet to find something to help me.  Thats when I read about maca root and tried it.  Some accused me of being a rep or something for the company that was hularious.  I just wanted to help others that were like me to feel good again.  Yes I know not everyone responds to everything but you don't even give it a chance.  After two weeks on maca and still being on anti depressants yes I thought about givng up on it because I felt like it wasn't helping.  But I didn't  I stayed with it and about a month on it I did feel alittle different and then every week was getting better then I gradually got off the anti depressants and anxiety meds.  I am glad to say today makes 15 weeks on maca and I feel alive again.  The depression and anxiety are gone so are the other symthoms.  I think I could have lived with everything but the bad depression, anxiety and not sleeping.  I went from 2-3 hr sleep to now 7-8 hr sleep at night and love it.  Just want everyone of you to feel as good as I do!!!
