Suffering! Perimenopause/mid cycle I need help!!!
Posted , 13 users are following.
Hi everyone, my name is Jenn and I am 49 years old. Went to Gyno two weeks ago and all is good. My doc said I am in Perimenopause. What I have noticed the past 6 months or so is when I am mid cycle..like two weeks before my next period, I am riddled with anxiety. The palpitations, hot flashes, feelings of dread and fear. Increase in urinating, I wake up sweaty and racing heart. I feel as though I could cry at every little thing. I also have IBS flare up around now and get crampy. I also think it has to do with ovulation. I just really need some help, I am having a terrible day today. Any advice is welcome I feel very alone. =((

You have just wrote out my diary!!! It's the anxiety for me which is the most difficult and unfortunately for me it's opted for a health anxiety which is a nightmare especially when I have different symptoms going on due to peri. Those horrible days around ovulation make me think about every worst case scenario.

I am already on Lexapro AD and it isn't doing squat mid cycle to curb this nasty anxiety and internal shaking. Yesterday, the doom and gloom depression hit and I felt so low. Now today, the sheer panic that hit almost caused me to blackout so my mom took me to the ER. There is nothing they could do but give me a sedative. What a way to live! I have a 4 year old I need to raise and can't be sedated for the next 10 years. I just wanted you to know, you aren't alone at all with this. Im getting off the Lexapro and going to ask if there is something else I can take. Hugs, I know how bad things can be.
