I am one of the victim who experienced anxiety and depression in perimenopause.That really had bad impact on me.

What did you do for it and how long did it last? Are you still experiencing it? Thanks for responding to my post.

I'm 55 and I'm going through menopause, with this I've had a ton of stress dumped on me for the last 4 yrs.I've always had some depression, but the anxiety seems worse.I've been on all kinds of anti depressants which haven't helped me much,plus the nasty side effects.I told my Dr forget it!! Now I do take Wellbutrin,it is good, no side effects I've experienced.I also take generic Xanax for when I'm going to flip out.My Dr recently suggested Buspar,have any of you taken this? I get my Rx tomorrow and start it.Please let me know if you've tried this,I've read mostly good things but, you never know till YOU try it.
I was having horrible hot flashes for like 2 yrs,it was hell!! and I can't take HRT.The flashes have calmed down now.

Good luck and I am so happy that you are finding something that is agreeable with you...This is not an easy time in life, but at least you are through the worst of it...
