Hi everyone! I'm a mom, wife and teacher who apparently is in or has gone through menapause.
So, I used to be a fun, go with the flow girl until anxiety, hot flashes and mood swings took over my body. My GP felt that the Mirena was enough to help with hormones even if it was menapause. I went to a gyn who ordered blood work, my FSH was 113.5 so she suggested Effexor to help with menapause symptoms.
Has anyone tried it?
How about estrovan?

*She is taking out mirena out in March, waiting to be sure I don't get crazy periods by taking it out now.

    The only things I'm using are bio identical hormones. Hope you find what works for you! WELCOME!
