Finally got hold of my doctor, I am 40 yrs young and am going thru per-menopause. I felt the same way about 4 or 5 years ago but like I said earlier, they laughed and said I was too young. He wants to put me on low estergen birth control pills (was on this from 15 yrs old to 24 yrs old), has anyone been on low estergen birth control pills going thru per-menopause? I am still taken my Xanox because my anxiety has been horrible, also causing my anxiety besides per-menopause is my allergies (that's another story, have developed polyps in my sinus cavity, may need surgery). Oh joy!!! :)
