Need Help With Perimenopause

[Guest guest]

I posted a big long reply to someone else and it never got on. I

don't know why, but I will try to reiterate. I am a new member.

 

I am 51 years old and have a long history of depression, anxiety, and

obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have been on what I thought was my

lifesaver for almost 12 years now, Effexor XR.

 

I live a pretty stressful life. I work full time, drive 120 miles

round trip to work and back, and have a small animal rescue. Still, I

was coping ok. Last year we sold our house and built a new one and I

did a big major rescue and had no issues.

 

Three months ago, my world fell apart and I have yet to be able to

pick up the pieces. I have tried to journal what my days are like,

and it seems to be cyclic, but then this month fooled me. I have

major hot flashes, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and it can last for

5 days or so where I want to jump off a bridge. ITs scaring me.

 

My doctor increased my Effexor in the hopes it would help. It didn't,

and we decreased it because I felt WORSE. I have had to resort to

sleeping pills but even THEY don't help. I also have chamomile tea

several times a day, take Rescue Remedy along with aspen and white

willow, valerian at night, lavender oil on my pulse points,

progesterone cream by Emerita. I take the EFA oils, vitamins,

acidophilus, and I give up. I am so over the top that I can't seem to

go to work most days, either.

 

I thought I was coping in that it seemed to appear 5 days before my

menstruation started. Now this month, it came at ovulation time and

its now day 4. I am so paniced.

 

Does anyone have any advice, please?

 

Thank you. Judi L.
