Chewing gum helps a little with the clenching. Clonazepam helps quite a bit but it is in the diazapine family and can be addictive.
I have been on Effexor 225 mg for about a month now. Wow! Depression, anxiety are pretty much a thing of the past. I can concentrate on a task and think without other thoughts crowding my train of thought out. If my problems stem from hormone fluctuations and peri-menopause, I think this is a quick fix and not a long term solution. Effexor may work for me, while not for others.
There needs to be a lot more study done on hormone fluctuations and what they can do to a woman's mind, emotions and body. I think that by studying the source is the best way to find a solution. I have heard that depression causes much more difficult peri-menopause for women. Personally, I think difficult peri-menopause IS the cause of depression.
Perhaps the Wizard can help us?!?
