I am sure that I am in the peri/meno stage of my life. I suffered sever panic attacks for a long time. I got on the right meds and was doing well for a long time. Now the aniexty is back I didn't need to take any xanax for the longest of times. Now it seems it is an everyday occurance. Does any one else feel that their aniexty increases with peri/meno. I am taking black cohosh and it seems to really help me but currently went off when I got my monthly. I am really tired of everytime I turn around some new symptom has crept up on me. Any and all advice will be gladly accepted.
Thanks in advance

" Anxiety hit me with a vengence. I am on Zoloft and was recently put on YAZ to help with the symptoms. I am doing better but still struggle with anxiety, just not nearly as severe. Unfortunately, it's something that we just have to go thru. "

" With our estrogen levels jumping around, it can increase anxiety. I think that is the worse feeling that comes with this peri crap. I too like you feel like every time i turn around here comes a new symptom.But like I said , anxiety has to top it all!!!! I wish I had the magic way to deal but i am still trying myself. I just brought a meditation dvd so I will let you know if that helps. "
