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.
