they want to put me on buspar ,prozac and geodon ..the worse for me is the anxiety but i got myself believing in not breathing. it feels like it or imstopping.it starts around 4 pm. sometimes all night sometimes i can sleep but im up in a panic every time. its so scary and exhausting. my hot flashes have subsided but like i said its all the other weird feelings. been to dr.. he said my oxyegen is 98 ..bp was fine. heart rate 63. i just feel like im dying. idk ..i was never told about this i was lead to believe menapause was just some hot flashes. so it scares me when i feelthis bad all day...i pray we all get through this. i much rather have my period again. better yet be giving birth. at least sonething good comes from that. 😊. good luck. hope u get some sleep.

I was telling my sister and she said what helped her in the end were sleeping pills and lexapro. She said it gave her body a chance to rest and for things to calm down. I don't know if I want to go that route but getting awfully down due to the frozen shoulder.

It's an antidepressant.
My friend was taking it and abruptly stopped and ended up getting brain zaps. I've avoided all that stuff, maybe I shouldve tried it. Hate drugs though

morning Jaynie... I’m gonna repeat what my pharmacist said, all these doctors wanting to put us on anti-depressants, we’re not short of an anti-depressant in our body, we’re short of hormones. have you tried melatonin, also 5-HTP, L- THEANINE help with sleep. I know we discussed this before about cutting caffeine, sugar and alcohol is crucial and not eating after 6 PM. I honestly had a terrible time with sleep. I thought it was due to the very stressful circumstances with my family, but it turned out it was PERI all along. I forgot, do you still get your periods? also try to journal on your calendar when the symptoms are worse because I find that they are at ovulation and menstruation. even when we are post menopause we are still affected. this time of our life is like that song… Long and winding road... 😉 you’re not alone girlfriend 😃
