I think you need to be careful using ADs to control physical menopausal symptoms - in my experience it really isn't that simple, and NICE guidelines don't recommend it either. ADs have complex effects on the way your brain regulates moods and aren't appropriate for hormonal problems unless all else really has failed. Some people tolerate ADs with no problem whatsoever, others have severe problems with them. As someone in the latter category I'd say - just be be careful, this isn't a drug which only affects you physically, you could be starting down a very difficult route where mental and physical health get dangerously blurred.
