I've had this for 17 years. Mine got better in time, but I still have it several days each week.

I was on them for a year but because some women scared me I went off of them. If I would have stayed on them for 3 years I would not have gotten the symptoms back but because I went off of them early they all came back. I tried to go back on them but it didn't work anymore. So, my doctor put me on other medication that worked but again I went off of them. Then I went on home remedies that semi worked, until I took St. John's wort and everything stopped.
I will tell you that I was high risk for the pills because I have blood clot issues. I had a blood clot rupture when I was 36, at the time I wasn't taking any medication of any type. My doctor didn't think there was much concern, and said that the benefits out weighed the risk since I wasn't going to be on them long term. So I took a chance but I was being monitored. If you have blood clot issues then I can understand, but if you don't then I don't see any reason why you wouldn't try it.

You said you took St. John's wort? Did it raise your blood pressure at all? I am interested in taking it but if it will raise my bp then I'd have to reconsider. I am on bp meds but i wouldnt want to take that chance. Is there anything similar to St. John's wort that I can take?

If you give me the name of the blood pressure medicine you take I can look it up and see if it's on the list for contraindications.

I am on Valsartan(Diovan). It has terrible side effects! I just asked my doctor to switch me back to my previous bp medicine, Amlodipine. I'm waiting to hear back from her regarding that.
Yeah I feel like I am having a terrible time with peri. My symptoms seem to get worse the further along I go into peri. I haven't found anything that will works for me as of yet that will help alleviate these symptoms.

I just looked it up, you cannot take Amlodipine with St. John's wort. It has life threatening consequences. You still have your ovaries right? There is a homemade remedy we use in our culture that helps reduce the effects of perimenopause. If you're interested in learning how to make it, send me a pm and I'll give you the recipe which is very simple. It really helps to calm the effects.

Well. I feel like that when I'm in the middle of my month and lots more unpleasant feelings.

I had this a couple of weeks ago for a few days but it has happened a few other times. But then it just passed . So I am glad to hear it's not unusual.

I don't get the nausea but I do wake up most mornings with hands like a bunch of bananas - and about as useful! It takes a while before they start working properly. What's THAT about?
