Menopausal anxiety and depression

I am so sorry to hear of your struggles and multiple losses over the last few years. You have been through a lot!
I haven’t had HRT or breast cancer (deal with many other spine/chronic pain issues) but can totally relate with menopause hormonal changes causing major depression and anxiety plus extreme fatigue and brain fog.
I tried multiple medications and some used to work but no longer help (Zoloft/sertraline used to help me with panic attacks and postpartum depression but not so much now). I am currently taking Wellbutrin/bupropion 300 mg which has helped some but still not optimal. It has at least helped me stabilize a bit to function a little better each day but still not my old self. It seems like menopause hijacked my former self and life and wish I had my old self back again.
If you haven’t tried Wellbutrin/bupropion, you may want to look into it. Sometimes, they will do a combination of Wellbutrin and Zoloft which has helped many.
I pray that you get some relief soon!

Hi
Thank you.
My losses happened during my cancer in 2024 within 4 months I lost all those people during my treatment. I also have spine fractures which I was diagnosed in 2022 with my first one and osteopenia and then April this year my spine fractured again into more places so now I'm doing a new medication which is an injection daily called forteo. I think it's making me feel more fatigued.
I totally relate to you saying that it hijacked your prior self menopause. I have read about Wellbutrin thanks for that info I was wondering if maybe that might help if they added it I do see my doctor next week so I'll see what he says . Did you find Zoloft took away your appetite because I sure am not hungry at all since starting it.
