I had to stop taking my Primerin. It was making me have bad mood swings and gain to much weight. I haven't taken it for months now. I do take vitamins and calcium tablets.
I am starting to get in this mood. I don't like who I have become. I get upset if things aren't my way. I can't afford to go back to the doctor right now. Does any lady out there have suggestions that might help with my situation? I also started not being in the mood for love making. Any help with this as well?

I am 38 years old.
I stopped taken primerin cause it made me mean after awhile and made me feel funny as well. I did slowly ween myself off of it.
Then I did take the natural herb's they have at walmart for awhile. Then those seem to mess with me after a time. So I stopped taken them.
I was doing good, no hot flashes or any symtoms until like this past couple months.
I do take time to think before I say things to people. I just get edgy when I dont get my way.

My boyfriend has a problem with me. He says I make him feel he cant do anything right. Nothing is good enough. Well, I can not help it I like things my way right now. I let him do what he wants to do or go where he wants to go, but if I ask or say I do or don't want something I feel he should not get mad at me for feeling the way I do. I try to explain to him that I love him and I am sorry that I am changing and cant eat the spices I use to eat and have to have things cooked certain ways. He thinks I am the rude one.
Well, I tell him what I can have and not have and Ill be dang if he dont go and still make or buy me something I cant have cause it makes me feel horrible.
Then if he would help me by doing things around the house I ask him to see about fixen instead of putting it off I would be much happier. It just seems he wants what he wants and I come second. What about what I am going through??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I think he is the lucky one.

hi, i had to take my self off premerin, due to the rage and anger it was causing, i found that walmart has natural menopause pills you can take to get thru the symptoms such as mood swings, night sweats and hot flashes, i took these for about 3 months, and no longer need anything. anything with testosterone in it will cause the anger, also your sex drive will go away as mine did, the only thing i can do with out taking testosterone, is using ky warming gel, and accepting the fact that at least its time spent with my husband. i totally feel for you, i was in my 30s when i had a hysterectomy, and not ready for this, but my mood swings and all symptoms are now gone. good luck. i hope this helps

I decided that when I turned 50, a switch went off in my head that said "I'm 50 years old and you can't talk to me that way...treat me that way...be rude to me...or tell me "no" without a perfectly good reason(that I may or may not agree with!). As I approach 60, this month, I am more certain than ever that I have paid my dues and learned my lessons so that I make my own decisions (including sex) without regret. The "help" I offer you is to be proud or who you have become! Be sure of yourself! And try some sexy outfits from Victoria's Secret with your favorite food/wine and man (or whomever!)! Enjoy! We finally DO know what we like and want!

meditation, you will have to make a concerted effort to control your moods, I went through menopause 3 years ago. meditation and stopping to think before I yell
as for the other- there are studies that say both things about hormones and sex drives- some say they help and some say they don't, just try being close with your partner for quiet times, even when lovemaking is not going to be involved, just being close in loving, fun and sweet ways helps to get you in the mood
best of luck to you- I hope you find what is right for you.

All women go through some day what you are going through now. It is perfectly normal. If you dont enjoy sex avoid it. Try to kep your mind calm. When stressful or bad thoughts come to your mind close your eyes, take deep breathing and try to keep your mind blank. You will get over this phase. It may last 6 months to 1 year. All the best.

You can try some herbal supplements - the health food store has some great supplements that will help= also plenty of B vitamins-I tried an over the counter progestin cream- it worked great for some of my friends- Premarin is made from pregnant mare's urine- D

So why did you stop with the hormones? You need to get to a woman's clinic that can help you.
You can purchase estrogen creme at "health food" stores and get a suppliment that can help even out those chemicals to help you sleep and not be so moody.
Best wishes
