I'm 53, now postmenopausal, and I tried a lot of things. The B complex vitamins are good but you probably don't need an added multivitamin if you are eating properly. Omega-3 works well. You must take one that has an EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) of over 400 mg. and a DHA(docosahexaenoic acid) of over 200 mg. It's not enough to just take any old omega oil because it's those two acids that are the important ones for mood stabilizing. Also make sure that it is molecularly distilled and purified. My friend Karen is a pharmacist and they have done many studies here in Canada on herbal remedies for any number of ailments and evening primrose oil does nothing at all for menopause. If people say it helps them, remember that in studies even a placebo(sugar pill) works 3 out of 5 times because psychologically they want to believe it, even if research has proven otherwise. Also a lot of herbal remedies are not regulated so you often don't know what your getting. According to Karen, they've found digoxin, which is a heart medication, in one "natural" herb medication. The person taking this "natural" herb had to be hospitalized for an irregular heartbeat which is a very serious thing. What I'm trying to say is be careful what you take because just because it's an herbal medication like black cohosh or evening primose oil doesn't mean it's a good thing. The Omega 3s have not had any adverse problems provided you get one that's been distilled and purified.
I know I was very emotional, cried a lot and hardly ever slept, still don't, because of the hormone fluctuation so I think I'd have been better off if my doctor had given me a sedative to knock me out completely for 7 yrs. Just kidding, but not really.
One more thing, exercise is definitely good if you can just motivate your *** to do it.

it rather is complicated to assert as those 2 questions published might have a large style of variables - such using fact the form of person on that distinctive talk board at that factor. pondering different in time zones too, you have have been given the sensible mothers in us of a of america, or the drunken mothers interior the united kingdom! I do think of there could be a connection with your section. i come across that there does seem a distinction no longer basically in what part of the united kingdom, yet say.. which part of London, a city or city or village etc. I now stay interior the sting of a city, and that i'v chanced on a large distinction in parenting attitudes to the city i'm used to. I additionally be conscious a distinction between the valuables i'm on and the subsequent one. at present close by to me is the sensible concepts-set - much less television, extra concentration on foodstuff and academic events etc - and somewhat extra away you will locate the different end of the size. i'm no longer asserting those females are undesirable mothers, they have a distinctive concepts-set.

She's actual a gorgeous lady and her daughter is cute, yet i assume that she became raised to have faith that her way is the spectacular way, or the conventional way. Parenting for me is seeing previous the norm, no longer following the gang. enable's settle for it - as Brits we are notoriosly rude, in undesirable well-being, our crime stats are interior the direction of the roof, ASBO tiers increasing, very eco-UNfriendly, and hooked on television. The 'norm' isn't working for the main people. i'm undecided that the attitudes rather selection between individuals and Brts - yet yet another of our character flaws is only to accept as true with people for the sake of an ordinary existence - American's seem plenty extra open than us. i'm having a gamble a large style of the people who study your buddy's uk question secretly concept that she became... under suited we would desire to assert - inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it rather is almost in our nature to easily say, 'confident, you're surprising!'. If it helps, i'm actual Scottish, so possibly i'm no longer extremely as overly-well mannered as English! i attempt to be well mannered a minimum of...

My mom swears by kava kava powder. You can buy it in health food stores. When she gets up in the morning, she makes a slim fast shake witha big dollop of kava kava and a multivitamin. I also take kava kava tincture around my monthlies... it really does work. A shot is like an instant mellower.
