I'm sure some of your moodiness is peri-menopause -- it sure sounds like what I was getting. The Estradiol you are taking should help even things out a bit. If not, you might consider trying effexor as it has a nice anti-anxiety effect and, of course, is a good antidepressent. Weight gain on it is less than average, so perhaps if you gain a little weight it won't be much. Which comes to my next thing: exercise. I can't emphasize how important it is to normalizing your emotions and regulating your body temperature. Start slow -- walk a block or two -- then increase slowly. I hope somehting here helps.
