I have been taking Cymbalta (anti-depressant), but I also am in peri-menopause. I have been very forgetful and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. I thought I heard that one of Cymbalta’s side effects is forgetfulness, but I also thought it could be symptoms of peri-menopause. Sometimes in the middle of a sentence/or story, I forget what I was going to say!! Please help

Vaginal Dryness?




I’m in menopause and have terrible vaginal dryness. I’ve talked to my obgyn and PCP. I use Estrace cream and that isn’t helping. I can’t take any oral contraceptives due to a medical problem. Intercourse is NOT pleasurable because of the pain. Foreplay doesn’t work either. Please HELP!!!

Menopause questions - Help!?




I just hit 45 yrs. My periods had become bad, etc. The OBGYN wanted to perform a hysterectomy. I changed my mind on that because my period ceased for two months and now it’s very little. This has all started around late last summer. My moods are depressed and I am constantly angry and anxious. Very ethargic as well. Can anyone tell me if menopause caused these symptoms for them and any solutions? I will be seeing the doc again as well. Also, how long will this last? Thanks in advnce!

I’m 14, and I want to enhance my breasts. I know I’m going to get chewed out for that when I’m not fully developed yet, but I’m fairly sure I won’t grow any more. I want to use my progesterone and conjugated estrogen pills to enhance my breasts. My mother takes them to combat the effects of menopause, and they’re basically the hormones your body produces, that cause breast growth, menstrual cycle and the like. What should I do?

My mom had a partial hysterectomy. They left her overies. she is 45. We have heard that she will not have to worry about going through menopause. But 21 months later she is having some symptoms, hot flash etc… Can she be going through menopause?
What are the symptoms? And is there any non-prescription medications she can take to help? Thank You
The doctor who did the surgery told her she would not go through menopause
