It is scarey because we have no control.  Also I worry about if others will notice or whether I will have to leave therefore disturbing people  ::).  It is finding a way of coping and each of us deals with these issues differently.

Making yourself cough can sometimes stop the palpitations.

Nearly always works for me.

Just cough CLKD.  Trey explained why at one point but i can't remember what she said  ::)

My doctor told me it would help.

A glass of wine works too but I don't fancy that with my corn flakes.

Hi Karenja

I feel for you, I hate taking medication as my own family were on tabs for years, but it may only be temporary and it really does help. Citalopram does help with anxiety and it is not addictive my gp said, I have succumbed to increasing mine to 20mg and I don't regret this, it has helped my anxiety a lot.
I just need these flushes to go... my evorel patches stopped these as I said in a recent message I sent on this forum but for under 2 weeks I stopped them and now the patches do not seem to help as they did ?

The medications prescribed years ago were totally different to what GPs suggest these days  ;)

My anxiety is back this morning  :'(

Does anybody take to their bed if they are getting anxiety or any other horrible menopause symptoms, I very often just go to bed in the daytime on the weekend or go early in the evenings as try to sleep to stop feeling so awful us lack if sleep at night drains you x
I was doing that but I ended up waking up feeling even worse.
I don't blame you for not wanting to try antidepressants, doctors say they are  not addictive, but they do have what they call a discontinuation syndrome, on other words, withdrawal.
You only have to look on the antidepressant forums to see the victims of pharmecutical meds.
Have you heard of a supplement called trypotphan.
A doctor once told me that the nhs prescribe this.
I cannot take it as I am on trazodone and the two interact.
My trazodone doesn't work for depression but the night time dose relaxes me.
It's just the daytimes I struggle with.
I hate waking up hot and anxious, I feel I should be able to start my day in the way a new day is supposed to be started, by welcoming it in,  not  dreading it.

Yep - many medications need a period of withdrawal ......... including ADs.  It took 9 weeks for me to wean of one type.  But I did and I survived though there were times I thought I would have to begin taking them  ::).  Now I know how the weaning off period works, I won't be as worried should I need to do so in future.

There are not many people who are addicted to ADs whatever you read on the 'net.  One drug in recent years (19990s) when new was prescribed and there is a Law Suite going through.  But not many people are, usually there are other factors involved i.e. other substances or Doctors not being supportive to a weaning phase.

I hate waking up anxious too, did so this morning and my stomach is still rolling.  I ate a lot of 'tablet' last night ......... too much sugar perhaps followed by Very Busy Dreams ........ I have been through periods of dreading going to sleep due to bad dreams, dreading getting out of bed, not being able to stay in bed  :-\
