To start with I am 40 years old and have been told there is nothing wrong with my hormones. My mom started her menopause around this time and I am now pretty sure I have too even though the doctors don't agree. I don't have night sweats but I all of a sudden last year started to have anxiety attacks and constant anxiousness. Sometimes I felt so bad I would need my husband to just hold me or put his body on me just so I would calm down enough to sleep. I have 2 little boys 5 and 8 with all that comes with it....constant activity and service! I would feel like someone was chasing me at times. The doctor told me I was just "mommied out" and that Zoloft would take the edge of and calm me down. After 3rd day of taking it I had a full blown panic attack and felt as close to dying as I have ever before! I swore I would never in my life take anything like that again and risk my sanity. It knocked me out so bad I could not function for almost 5 days. Since then anxiety have been my life. I think having anxiety causes anxiety, it's a vicious circle. My head has had the feeling of dizziness, pressure in my forehead, ringing in the ears and a feeling of not being able to deal with any confrontations, issues or problem solving. I would often cry at night and tell my husband that I don't know why but to just let me cry and I would feel relieved. When I once in a while would feel good I would wonder what the heck was wrong with me and want to take on the world. Since I later have realized those days have come and gone every now and then I would need to take advantage of them and run all my errands that day or clean the house. Now I am starting to think it must have been my hormones since I was obviously not really ill just sometimes! This problem really has bothered me and my entire family. I have tried to get more active since that seems to help temporarily. After a brisk walk I always felt much better but still not good enough. My sex drive that was low to begin with has now become non-existent.
Now for the good news.....
7 days ago I started taking Mendapause with the expectation of it taking 4-6 weeks of taking effect but just after 3-4 days I swear things changed. Since I started I have done major yard work, which I would other days been to fatigued to do. I feel like a fog has lifted from my mind...the anxiety, oh my anxiety this horrible life sucking thing I have been dealing with has been gone since about 5 days ago!!!!!!! If it is thanks to the Mendapause I don't know how to thank them enough. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because I intend to write another review in a few weeks when it has proven itself. My ringing in my ears is yet to go away but gosh I can live with that! I even have managed to make my husband a little happier a couple of times! Always a start.... I am so hopeful this will change my whole families life!
It has now been about 5 weeks and I would have to say it is still working! The anxiety is much less, although it has happened that I have worked myself up a few times. We just started a pretty big construction project on our house and normally it would completely petrify me with all the commotion but I am actually having fun with it. Still have some ringing in my ears....sex drive would leave more to be desired but at least it's better. Hope this herb will build up in my system to make all my symptoms go away but at least it has made me feel a whole lot better!
