Hi! I'm not sure if I have spelt this right or not, but I had my hospital appointment on Friday in the menopause clinic, and my biggest problems is mood swings and feeling low, he said because I have had so many side effects with the HRT I could try a low dose amitriptyline . I was unsure so he is going to write to my GP and if I want to try it I can contact my GP. I'm so unsure what to do has anyone ever tried this?

Today is my birthday and my husband is away, he left me a present and when I opened it this morning the box was empty, I just sat there and cried my eyes out, at 8.30 he sent me a text telling me where to find my present, he did it in case I opened it early but to me  it has really upset me, its ridiculous I now cant get it out of my mind, I know I'm being stupid, I do have to get a grip as my son is coming round later to take me to lunch but this morning all I want to do is cry, this is crazy.... I just cant switch my mind off.......... do I try the pills or is this just tiredness, I have just had two long days of my mother who is in a wheelchair and has end stage COPD, sorry for babbling on, just thought if I write it down it might help.....

Hi robotwars
I'm not sure about the anti depressant the meno clinic prescribed for you, didn't think they used that type these days, thought it was citalopram if you couldn't tolerate HRT.
I use the Evorel conti patch.
It must be difficult for you with your mother suffering from COPD, my mum suffered from that and I looked after her for quite a few years.  Hope things get a bit easier for you soon.

I am surprised you were prescribed that, I thought it was only used for things like fibromyalgia and migraine prevention these days.

It can be used for various ailments ......... maybe have a talk with a Pharmacist for advice, most have private rooms these days.

I can understand your tears however un-rational it seemed, an empty box would be full of disappointment for me - what was the gift ?  and did you manage to enjoy the rest of your day

Thanks for your replies and kind words, my birthday was ok, lovely meal with sons and in the box was a necklace
I'm not sure what dose as I didn't take the prescription, I said I needed to think about this as I don't want to end up like a zombie, so he agreed to write to my GP and if I want to try it he will write the prescription!!!, someone at work said I should try Angus cactus drops..... I'm just very confused... I'm wondering whether I should try the femseven patches again as I have a load of these in the draw, out of all the HRT's I tried this was the best out of all of them..... its all so confusing..........
