I have always battled with depression. My effexor has worked for me for years. A month ago it was like a slap in the face of severe depression. Extremely high anxiety and even suicidal thoughts. I'm waiting for my hormones to be checked to confirm i am in menopause. I have no sex drive anymore, severe mood swings, high anxiety and no energy. I just need to know if it gets better. I'm barely hanging on

Hi
I am happy to say that my doctor finally found the right medication I'm on Zoloft 50 mg it's fantastic. I am 67 I have been in menopause since my fifties and going off the HRT made it extremely apparent but this medication has changed my life and I finally have my life back. If you are able to take HRT I strongly suggest it it worked great for me for 14 years but I can no longer take that. I took estrogel and prometrium . I hope you get some answers soon because it's very frustrating.
