Ive just joined but have been menapausal since my early 40s. I'm 54 now and still going through the great change! My GP has reccemended antihystermines. Non drousy for day and a normal one at night. He also suggested I should cut out my antidepressants, but no chance of that. I found I started itching only 3 months ago when I changed from Climates to Eleste duet. Might be cooinsidence but I would be interested if anyone else with long term Menapause has experienced side effects of Eleste duet? Break through bleeding, itching, etc. Not having had a period for 10 years it's a little disconcerting!
