Anxiety can become worse during peri menopause.  Some find 'bachs' rescue remedy helpful, I have used the mouth spray successfully; eating little and often can ease any surges; Propranolol also helped me for years.

My anxiety is under control though it took 3 months on HRT. If yours came with peri and is from oestrogen deficiency (like mine) hrt is a more appropriate treatment than ADs. I'd suggest you have a chat with your gp.

Hello ladies.

I enjoyed the programme but even if I hadn't I appreciate that attention is being drawn to the subject.

I was pleased to be reminded of the effects of the menopause on the brain which accounts for the lack of temperature control and mood issues such as anxiety. I often talk on this forum about the jittery, internal shaking sensation that started for me in post menopause. I knew that this feeling was due to brain activity rather than anything physical and it was good to see it confirmed on the programme.  I was also impressed with the interviews.

Wishing you all well.
