When I was on sertraline (50mg daily, 1 tablet) for mild anxiety, ì took it after breakfast before 9 am each morning. Ì was on it for almost 10 years. Fyi, ì found I still had low grade anxiety on it (even when I tried upping the dose) and last year in Jan when I realised my anxiety had increased (I'm in the throes of perimenopause at age 44), my gp recommended effexor xr as being better for anxiety.
Can I highly highly recommend Effexor Xr to any ladies dealing with peri anxiety or anxiety in general. It has been a wonder drug for me. No side effects at all. Much better, for me personally than the sertraline. I haven't felt this good in years.
I still have peri symptoms, don't get me wrong.... varied cycle lengths (anything from 25 to 30 days), night sweats the week before or during my period and bouts of being really hot and sweaty during the day

Anyhow, just a thought for those ladies dealing with anxiety issues. Ask your gp about Effexor xr and don't believe the horror stories on the internet. I have had no problems and haven't felt this good in years. I did try and come off it about 6 months ago and had no problem withdrawing (I did it gradually), but anxiety is one of my peri symptoms, so voluntarily chose to go back on and have no intention of going off it until after menopause and hormonal anxiety has resolved.

Thanks for that. Good to know they're mild because I'm a little nervous about taking them. I'm glad they are working for you. Am hoping they will help me sleep better too.

Just be careful of the side effects it can cause either weight gain or a loss of weight. Read up on the side effects and do not let your doctor tell you that that does no cause the side effect.
Hope it works with your system

i know some others on it for menopause and they take pm as well .
Helps with anxiety but still get waves of it when I think hormones are as I say ' waving' ,
i have come down from 100 per day to 50 one day 50 day 2 then 100 then back to 50 - 50 - 100
hope to reduce again at some point but side effects reducing are a bit grim for me . That said feeling much much better these days 3 1/2 yrs on !!!!
Dont we just love menopause , think we all in for the long haul
