I've got it back due to adding an herbal tincture called Damiana. Two dropperfuls in a bit of water 2-3 times a day. What a godsend! Forget the pdocs; they really don't know it all. Study up on your herbs, folks. My next addition will be Lavendar as an ally for mid-life anxiety, etc. Thank god for meds but they are so sedating and have so many bad side effects.

I was going to ask the doc to add something for anxiety, but will try the lavenedar first, thanks. I also take Maca every day because I have menstrual like cramps EVERY day! Bleh! Guess I should go to the gyn.

Hey Jazzy,

Thanks for the vote of solidarity! and your experience w/ Damiana; I'm still a newbie on that.

I take Buspar for my chronic anxiety. Works like a charm!

I'm getting my herbal info from "Traversing the Wild Terrain of Menopause: Herbal Allies For Midlife Women & Men by Gail Faith Edwards. (www.blessedmaineherbs.com) I have to reread the part on Lavendar to learn how to incorporate it into my life. I do plan to grow it in my garden when I get a chance to go buy a plant.

Keep me posted,
Mimi
