Perimenopause
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi all. I'm not sure if it's starting. I have anxiety which I have had for about ten years, but has got worse the last few months. I have headaches, itchy skin on my elbows, muscle pain in my legs and feeling tired. The worse thing is what could be hot flushes. Not to the point where I sweat, just feeling warm which is uncomfortable. I take Pregabalin for the anxiety and also take Mirtazapine for sleep. I wanted to ask if anyone takes medication and also any herbal remedies. I did ask my doctor about them but they said they wouldn't recomment it. And I'm sure some meds can't be taken with some remedies. I haven't seen my doctor about it yet and some can just pass it off as only anxiety.

Hi Swanscity,
?I know how you feel as I also suffer with headaches and the horrible hot flush uncomfortable warm feeling. I've been in peri since 2013 and I currently take St Johns Wort for the anxiety and a herbal menopause tab called Harmony which I take at night to help me sleep.
Take care
Anna

I take the prescription medicines. Which I don't want to be on. It's awful I can't take certain medicines. Like now I have a sore throat and cold, which I can't take Night Nurse as I take a sedative at night.

I know what you mean, I also have high bp which I have medication for which also means there are a lot of medicines I can't take, that's the main reason I am trying the herbal path, my GP was happy for me to try herbal to see what works & what doesn't as he didn't want to put me on any hrt.
