Planning a wedding....I am under a great deal of stress and find that I can't handle anything right now. In full blown menopause (47)...night sweats...no period for over a year....I think the added stress is making my menopause worse. My patience is totally shot. I am crying when I should be happy. I can't take any meds...i.e. antidepressants...tried but they made me crazier....

Anti depressants might be the WRONG thing for you. I was told by a Psychologist that I should never take them because I am Hypo-manic, Not manic depressive. Thank goodness I had been digging in my heals, refusing to take them. Taking an anti-depressant as a Hypo-manic can send you to the emergency room. Consult a Psychologist/Psychiatrist, not a Primary care about this. I fully understand your menopause situation. That's why I'm surfing this subject this morning. I want to rip down walls. Actually I'd like to shove my husband through one! I've always had rough PMS, but having all the symptoms and not bleeding, just doesn't provide the ''relief" I need. The bloating never seems to go away, the tension is always there. Good Luck to you sweetheart, hope the wedding goes off OK.

if you tried antidepressants and they made you crazier then you didn't get the right one. Try Zoloft it is really good for menopause. You can also try "Wild Yam" in a liquid form and take it in water at your local health food store. St. Johns wart is also good for helping you control your emotions. You sound like you are stressed and just really need a day at the spa, treat yourself and have a day for you! Good luck and Congrats

Get yourself some Progesterone Cream. 1/4 teaspoon rubbed into your skin morning and evening should in time stop the sweats and calm you down.
Progesterone Cream is natural, made from Wild Yam.
Enter Dr. John Lee into your Google browser and read up what it says about his research.
Otherwise when you loose your temper count to 10, slowly.
Whatever you do, do not go on HRT!!!---
