Re: Prozac? That is outrageous!

Bless your heart Donna.  All I have to say is EEEEEEEEEKKKK!  Do you mean to tell me everybody is being diagnosed now as PMDD and being prescribed antidepressants??????  That may be the reason almost every woman I know is on Paxil.  And they have no intention of getting off it.  Ever.  Actually the mood swings and scary anger episodes are the changing hormones in your body.  It is a normal thing.

Good for you for not listening to your doctor and going the natural route.  My story.... My menopause started a bit early.  Yet, at that time I new nothing about natural medicine or eating healthy.  Oh, and the hot flashes!  Let me tell you......  So as we all do, I went to the doctor.  He put me on Premarin, which made me feel fine and I took it for a short while until I discovered that a little side effect of hormonal therapy was breast cancer.  I dropped that like a hot potato and did my own research.  That's when I found Black Cohosh and that did the trick.  I have also recommended that to other women going through menopause and those who have listened to me are now telling other women about it.

Diet plays a very important part, also I believe supplements.

Thank you for sharing Donna!

Love ya!  Muah!
