General Menopause And Ptsd Dont Mix

Maybe it's cutting the scotch out that is what's doing it. :eek:

Truely, I feel for any woman that has menopause and ptsd. My wife is 42 years old and was forced into menopase last year due to chemo therapy. With ptsd looming in the forefront, I have an all new respect for those who can deal with their symptoms without harming anyone in the meantime. Hugs to all.

This is about my menopause and my husbands PTSD not mixing. I do not have PTSD, just the issues of the menopause.

I understand. But what about those who have both.

That is for a different thread.

I am at work and on the phone while reading your post at the same time. As you can see I need to work on multi-tasking. I re-read your post just to make sure I was not losing my mind.

Well I have seen the Dr and she said my symptoms are not severe enough to have HRT patches.

What she did do though is put up my anti depressants to combat the mood swings and told me to carry on with the sage tea.

It has been a couple of weeks now on the higher dose anti depressants and the sage tea.

The combination seems to be working and I am calmer and don't feel like either crying or raging. So I will keep going with this for as long as needed.
