heres some useful info.. i do take other natural remedies too..
Treatment
Vitamin B6 plays several roles in the body. It is essential for red blood cell development and keeping the immune system at peak performance. It is also needed to help keep hormone production, such as with serotonin, in the brain stabilized. When the body lacks B6, mood suffers as proper chemical production declines. During perimenopause, stress and depression cause the body to lose this needed vitamin. This can make a woman in her menopausal state feel exhausted and irritable, according to Lark. Another factor in the decline of B6 in the body can be attributed to the rise of estrogen during perimenopausal spikes or hormone replacement therapies. This goes hand in hand with the aforementioned estrogen increase causing depression.
good luck Jay xx

Trevis....i wished you were near so that we could get together for a coffee or i suppose now it would be better to opt for herbal...(caffine not good for us at the moment )...i can so relate to wanting to get me back...but...maybe it will be a different us...in time...and confidence!!!! well...thats just gone with the wind...
Anne...i thought about cfs...and fibro...but at this point in life gps go with the big M,so...have faith in them,for now i thought.
Jayneejay...ive tried vitamins,still on them...
However,this morning i went back to gp and have opted to try fluoxetine...i came home with the thought that i am being positive and doing something about this crazy difficult time,hopefully it will give me the chance to focus on what i can do and not on the things i cant...i wonder sometimes if we kind of grieve in a way
as quite a few of us seem to feel like we want to get our old self back...
Thankyou so much to you that posted...it really does help xxx
because for alot of us
