Mary, I'm going through the change, I'm not sure if it is still Peri Menopause. But I weaned off of Wellbutrin & Xanax. Xanax was added after I felt the "rubbery leg" feeling after stopping Cymbalta and then Serzone.
Now I'm on Remeron after my first panic attack and wouldn't take the Xanax. I'm not liking Remeron that much so I'm weaning off of it, thinking that if I really need something I'll take a little bit of xanax. Which I don't want to do.
I have it for an emergency in case I have a full blown "Panic Attack". But right now though I feel so tired and not wanting to do much at all. I don't think it is depression in general, I understand that side affects of Remeron make you "tired".
I really don't want to go back on Wellbutrin either. So I'm hoping that through nutrition, exercise and the Program I'll be able to function. I do use Temazepam to help me get to sleep at night.
Although, right now I can feel the anxiety symptoms in my gut, but not so bad that I can't eat so far.
