Hiya HopeAlone,
Sorry, I missed out asking you..... how are you doing on Venlafaxine? Are there any side effects? How long have you taken them and what is the daily dosage?
My dr said that he would like to put me on Venlafaxine.....
Appreciate your feedbacks. Bj

[Bj118]

Wishing you well....keep in touch. Take care, Bj

Hi BJ. I take sertraline 

[Yammy1]

Hi gypsyroselee, how soon did sertraline to start working and did you have many side effects. And just wondering if you can drink alcohol while on it, I like a couple of drinks weekends

Hi bj you are not alone. Everyone of those menopause you have listed I have got,it's not nice at all and can be very scary. And thoughts of how you going to get through a day never mind weeks. I don't take anything just trying to get through it. Seems to me it comes in blocks of months of feeling like this then it will subside for a few weeks then bam it's back. Sending you a big hug love catkins X hope it helps to know your not alone 😘

Hi Bj118

Sorry to hear about your menopausal symptoms and breast cancer  history meaning you cannot take HRT.

You might like to see this recent paper which lists all the alternative treatments and the evidence for their efficacy:
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2053369117711646?hootPostID=6690d93930a10b86869c48433ab506e7

As has been mentioned, there are various drugs including anti-depressants which can be effective for women in your position and the different types and dosages are discussed here in the paper, with specific reference to breast cancer.

Hope this helps

Hurdity x

Hello Catkins.......thank you so much for assuring me ......goodness gracious, you are also going through what I am experiencing...... YESSSSS.....it's horrible and very scary. Sometimes, I think I am going mental....   
I do feel so ignorant or stupid because I don't have a mother, grandmother, sister or aunt to ask...... didn't even realise that I was going through perimenopause.......thought I was not well all the time!!!!
Catkins, you don't take anything......how to you cope daily??? Are there alternatives that could help??
Big hugs back. Bj xxx
