I have been diagnosed as in the meopause and am having trouble sleeping, am waking several times a night but not associated with heat flashes and I am not worried about anything or anxious, is this a side effect of the menopause?

Can anybody confirm, or has anybody the same symptom?

Yes, that is a symptom. Are you on HRT?

Hi

No I am not on HRT I am only 46, and am concerned with the possible consequences of taking HRT.

I am thinking of seeing my GP again though because I work full time and am finding it extremely difficult, are you on HRT then? and if so how do you find it helps.

Thanks for replying, as my GP made me feel as though I was hiding other problems that were causing me not to sleep as I was not experiencing night sweats upon waking.

Yep menopause!...I have been on Premarin for 10 years. There are different kinds different dosages and your Gyn. Can help you with what is going on now AND what is yet to come. Every woman travels the menopause path in a different way and at different ages. Some women can't or refuse prescription meds opting for natural over the counter stuff. None of that stuff helped me. For sleep I use Benadryl.
If I were you I would read all the posts on this site and educate yourself.
