I have a lot of issues. Have suffered anxiety/depression insomnia for on and off 17 years. First episode post natal depression. Now going through menopause having a hard time finding the correct antidepressant that does not cause a lot of side effects. Taking Valdoxan at the moment helps me sleep for a few hours, still not myself. Tired all the time, no interest sort of stuck. Also on liveal 5mg and have a testosterone pellet implanted. I don t consider myself overweight but have severe sleep apnea, and sufferer from allegies and sinus infections. I feel like my brain is frozen, some days I feel like I have ADD. dyslexia. Late last year I went on a complete detox which was very hard to get rid of the toxins in ni in my body - it helped with some issues but not the insomonia/depression. Most natural therapies say I need to detox - medical profession tell me its menopause/depression what do I do.
His understand you concern. I had gone through your questions and I guess you need antidepressant to control anxiety and depression. Besides antidepressant hormonal replacement therapy can beneficial in post menopausal symptoms. Antidepressant like sertraline and Escitalopram has very less side effect and very useful to treat it. Start from mild dose and increases gradually as needed. Do exercise regularly. Keep your self busy and doing household work. Proper sleep and diet can helpful. I hope I have answered your query. Still have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you.
