Were you on antidepressants before you hit peri?

It's a bit complicated. My first doctor prescribed me antidepressants when I told him my symptoms i was in them for a year. He did not mentioned i may be going through peri menopause. But I was getting worse so I went to sew female doctor and she put me on HRT patches. And also she said keep taking anti depressants. Which i am doing. But little things trigger and I go ballistic almost like i am different person.

You might need more oestrogen if it’s hormonal. I wonder if you might be better asking admin to move this to the menopause section for better help.
