hi chocoholic chic

welcome to the forum

can you tell us whereabouts are you in your menopause journey. are you in peri?

also what hrt regime are you on and how long have you been on it?

as your post suggests as your depression is a new symptom it could settle down once your body has become accustomed to the hrt.

you will find lots of support on here xxx

Some ladies require appropriate anti-depressant medication as well as something to ease anxiety along with HRT. R these symptoms every day all day or is there a break?
