Hi Karen, my GP also tried to give me anti depressants, beta blockers and sleeping tablets. He also gave ne ranitidine for the acid reflux. So basically, the meds gave me acid reflux and I had another med to calm the reflux down. Nuts! I am not familiar with matazipine, but you could try go ogling it and see what side effects it has? In the meantime, do you have any milk of magnesium at home? I know it's an old fashioned product, but if you have any, try taking some, but be careful and don't take too much as it has a laxative effect. The magnesium in it will calm you until you can get out to a health shop or the chemists or H. and B. to get some magnesium. It really helps. Also, if you have bananas in the house, or an apple, they will help with the reflux. Bananas before bed will also help you sleep. Simple, I know, but I used these remedies with success.

Thank you darl for your advice I've just started on magnesium tablets and I eat raw white cabbage for my reflux, really works I'm also on lazparozole 30mg for reflux. Matazipine is more of a sleeper, but helps with anxiety so think I might give it a go to night. Thank you so much again for the advice x

Hi Karen, I've just looked up the matazapine, and personally, I wouldn't take it either. It may work after a few weeks, but the effects before it may help you, are not going to help you now. The side effects read like the side effects of the ad my GP prescribed. I found the methods I used were more natural, gave me the relief I badly needed, and did not leave me dependant on any drugs. Magnesium is a product we all need in our bodies and are low on. I also take vitamins now, which I didn't ever have faith in before the menopause brain hit me.
