Her instructions were 2 glasses of Soy Milk, exercise, positive thinking, sex 3 times a week  and Effexor XR if this doesn't work. I told her I was too old and did not have the energy or the interest for 3 times a week. She is 66 years old and has been in Menopause since she was 42. |
Lol! I can't remember! The hot flashes did tail off a bit and aren't quite as severe as they were at the start, after 3-5 years or so. So I have gotten better. I seem to do better overall when I'm outside, or maybe I don't notice it as much? Antidepressants just made me not care. About anything! Plus made me nauseous for the first two weeks on them. And gave me headaches. I'd rather be depressed! And hot!
