About 2 years ago I started to experience extreme symptoms of Perimenopause. I didn't realize Perimenopause was causing many of these symptoms The emotional roller coaster feelings - like nothing mattered - to not being able to tolerate anyone or anything. I was so disappointed with life. I was at my heaviest weight and had no energy. I had recently been laid off from my job, which didn't help my self esteem either. My asthma had gotten so bad that I was taking medication daily & using my inhaler the maximum prescribed. I also started to have heart palpitations with a racing pulse. A bumpy rash would wake me up itching unable to go back to sleep. All these signs & symptoms sent me to my Dr.
My Dr.'s solution was to write me a prescription that I assumed was to help me with the itching at night. After 2 nights of taking this medicine I started to experience more extreme mood swings then before, so I looked up the prescription's name on the Internet. I couldn't believe what I read. It was an anti-depressant that could cause suicidal thoughts & mood swings when initially prescribed. I couldn't believe my eyes. What was going on here???? What was I taking? What was I doing to myself??? Depression me! How could I be depressed. I had always been such an optimistic, upbeat, happy person. I called the Dr. who informed me that it would take awhile for the medication to start working properly & I should continue to take it especially since it was helping the itching & sleepless nights. I started to look deep within myself, Girlfriends! Was I ever amazed at what I found out about myself!!!!
