Peri menopause - did anything apart from HRT help you feel better?

[Franticforties]

I’m 47 and think I’m having peri menopause symptoms. My main troubles are waking in the night multiple times and not being able to get back to sleep, irrational anxiety and my sex drive has dropped off a cliff.
I really want to make some changes to try to improve things and would be interested to know if anything helped you.

St Johns Wort helps me a lot with anxiety and Turmeric (teaspoon of powder with milk, the capsules did nothing) stopped my mood swings dead which was a total surprise as that was not why I started taking it.

The sleeplessness is awful isn't it?

I take Neuronight around 8pm then Melatonin around 11pm (if I can't fall asleep by then).
Along with regular exercise, eating mostly healthily and no caffeine after midday.

Is menopace the same as an ordinary multi vitamin?

Menopace is a multivitamin that focuses on the stuff that'll help women through the menopause.

I tried Menopace a couple of years ago but they did nothing for me, I am afraid…ditto St John’s Wort.

Apparently the EU max dose (425ug) of St John's Wort isn't strong enough to do much. You need 950ug a day to feel effects.
