Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
What are any of you ladies taking to help combat depression.panic/anxiety? What are somethings I can do to get through this nightmare? Especially the constant crying/feeling hopeless/doom and scared! I'm married but my husband is on meds himself and we have NO relationship what so ever just like roommates passing each other and never saying a word far and few between . He gives no affection whatsoever !!!! Have no one to talk too and I just cry but CANT SEEM TO MAKE THE TEARS GO AWAY! Any suggestions !
My mood swings got really bad, but ever since I started the over the counter "estroven with multi vitamin" (walmart $9.97) it has done wonders.
I still have my periods , I am peri meno, but BOY do I get the worst PMS before my period and afterwards and all I do is CRY! I cry because the sun rises, I cry because my cat looked at me wrong, I cry when I talk about my computer. IT IS HORRIBLE. I have found no answers for that one yet!
Good luck sweetie. Sorry to hear you and your hubby have no relationship, that makes it double tough on anybody! Some days my hubby is VERY supportive, other times he tells me I use my peri meno as an excuse...go figure!
My only advice is...meds work great, but most are a REAL PAIN IN THE ASS TO GET OFF OF, so if you don't want to be on them for the rest of your life be careful.
The anti anxiety I take is xanax and/or klonopin. The klonopin works best and last so much longer than xanax. Doctors are real touchy about giving xanax because of it's bad "RAP" but klonopin is much easier to get.
If you need anymore info just let me know!
I get it from Vitacost http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Maca-Extract less than 9 cents a pill. I started with 6 a day 3 morning 3 mid afternoon. I only take 3 pills aday now. Cost 54 cents a day and is great. If you would have seen me 2 yrs ago I thought I was going to have to be committed.. Thats why I am sharing this cause I was in bad shape. All the doctors wanted to give me is prescriptions. Well I proved them wrong.
