Horrible perimenopause 😥
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all, Im 47 and I really don't know what to do? I've increased my Sertraline from 50mg to 100mg for just over 4 weeks for horrible anxiety and some low mood with perimenopause, I suspect and I feel horrible.... very shaky and anxious with weak legs today.... I really don't know what to do 😥 do I stick it out? I felt better a week ago now I feel vile 😥 not sure if it's perimenopause symptoms that have ramped up because it feels like it or the increase in Sertraline.... surely I would have had side effects before 4 weeks? please help. I've tried HRT patches and they didn't work after 12 weeks xxxxx

ssri's have a delayed reaction when you increase or decrease, take it from a pro x

Oh bless you, you've been through the mill. I tried Magnusium Glycinate 500mg and 1000mg for a while and I don't think it worked much xxx

glycinate is the better one, have you tried epsom salt baths (magnesium)? also are you cutting down on sugar and drinking plenty of water? thats only a little bit of my story to be honest, i could write a book, i may do when this is all over and call it ( what doctors dont know ) haha x
