Hi anyone know of any natural mood lifter? I can't take at John's wort as have high BP. Have been given evorel sequi patches but reluctant to take them don't want to put on weight! I dont mean to be vain but my self esteem is bad enuf at the minute as my skin etc isn't gr8. I just want to enjoy life again and be motivated! !

    do some research on doseage of b12 and get yourself tested as many people are low in this and the recommended ranges inthis country are exceedingly low compared to other countries.  a higher dose of vit b 12 in conjunction with a complex b vitamins should help on many counts.   Vit B12 needs the other vitamin b components to be metabolised and put to use at a cellular level.  I am on evorel and have cut my patches in half.  so a months worth will last me two months and i find it is enough along with a good range of supplements to keep me 'wheelin" along.

      i have been on the evorel for 5 months, at the doseage ive been on it has helped alleviate the aching joints and other issues perimenopause.   I am slightly overweight but this has remained static.  and less cravings for all the naughty foods.

    Hi tinaarena,

    I tried St John's wort also 5htp they didn't do anything for me.

    HRT lifted my depression better than any vitamin herb homeopathic remedy or doctors prescription ever did.

    I have also lost a little weight not gained on it.

    Why not try it as you have some, I decided 3 to 6 months to see if it did anything at all. I have been very pleasantly surprised.

    concentrating on the word natural - how about dark chocolate

    and/or excercise ( including running and/or aerobics - not too vigorous )
