Sorry you're dealing with this mood instability for do long. I'm just entering menopause amd am rapidly experiencing every symptom I ever heard of!. This on top of pre-existing depression & anxiety.

What have you found that works?

Best to you penelope

I can so relate I started taking remifemin a natural supplement estrogen free, It's only been a few weeks so I'll wait and see,or end it whichever comse first!I do hope you find some relief!

I have been doing great on the nortriptyline and clonazepam (klonipin). I had a few bumps in the road but for the last couple weeks...especially the last 4 days I have been a mess. I am going through some personal stressful things I think and hope are the cause and that I can get them under control and back on be back to "my" normal anyway.

I promise you are not going crazy. I had no idea that all these symptoms where part of menopause and I can tell you I thought I was losing my mind. And I am not sure how long I was suffering before I clued in to this was menopause.

However find what works for you either natural or not and you will get through this. Takes time to find the right combo but you will feel normal again.

Thanks for responding. It makes me feel so much better to know that other women are going through these same things. Things don't seem so scarey then.

I have, in the last five years had to sell my home, put my mom in a nursing home, had two cats die, lived with my insane brother, my mom died, I lost my job, hospitalized for thyroid failure, lived out of my car, in a homeless shelter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,many reasons I take meds and the perimenopause just adds to it. The meds take the edge off but still get bad PMS, I have no idea what nornal is anymore.

I too wonder what normal is like!!
