Oh, that sounds just awful!! If you don't mind my asking, what did your gyn give you for your peri symptoms? You shouldn't be beating yourself up, clearskies. You weren't to know that the medication your gyn gave you would worsen your migraines and cause such severe insomnia. And, as for the trazadone, yes it's true that it knocks you out, but I'm like you, it left me hung over for the better of the next day the two times I took it, and I started to feel depressed. You know, I never thought when I was in my early 30s that perimenopause would wreak such havoc on my system. But, between the nightsweats, heart palps, insomnia, swollen boobs and irregular cycles, it has been sucking the life out of me, so I understand how one can start to get down on oneself.
I wanted to tell you that I took my first dose of Estrace (bio-identical estrogen) yesterday, and, believe it not, I could feel a difference, especially in my mood and outlook. And, the pre-mentrual headache I have had for weeks now (yes, weeks since I have been cycling every two weeks almost consistently) is gone. I'm hoping that it continues to help me, although I am dreading adding in the progesterone.
Take care, clearskies, I hope you find some relief soon.
