Hello again Babspiglet.
You make a good point about trying to work out if your anxiety is hormone related or not however it is a very common symptom of the menopause so that is a clue right there lol!
My trusty meno book describes the emotional symptoms of the meno and they fit me to a T. The book was written by an MD so I think it is accurate, also Louise News and others say many women have this distressing symptom.
I agree with you that in a way it doesn't matter and as Oestrogen is the calming hormone it should help anyway. For me I know that the sensations I have now, which come out of nowhere at random times, are often accompanied by a flush but can also disappear for hours even though nothing else has changed are likely driven by hormones. The fact that you have had night sweats along with your mood changes is pretty conclusive from where I'm sitting. I assume your specialist is hinting at you taking ADs for your anxiety. Again I have been on a sizeable dose of these for years but my anxiety and mood swings continue unfortunately.
Wishing you well with your next experiment and keep us updated.
Take care.
K.
