Mood Swings!!! Help!!!

Hi. I'm 43 and my mood swings are horrendous - I mean really bad Blush
I went to see my doc but she just put me on antidepressants which I wasn't keen on and after about 6 months felt no different and weaned myself off them. Am now not taking anything but am willing to give any herbal supplements a go. Does anyone know of any that do actually work? or am I actually at the beginning of my change. My doc said I was too young for the menopause (unable to check with my mum and no-one in the family actually knows when she may have started her menopause)
Maybe I'm just going a bit la la Confused

Hi, I'm several years down the line from you and now on HRT, but when things started to change with me I used 1000 mg Starflower oil and black cohsh, this did help with the mood swings for a while, maybe give it a try ! hope this helps.

Did your doctor do any blood tests when your saw them? My doctor was able to comment on progress in peri-menopause as a result?
