I feel like I am a walking drug advertisement and I'm not sure any of them are working very well, but all have been advised by psychiatrist, endocrinologist and OB/GYN or myself.

I am so sorry you are suffering :-( I am in perimenopause, and it has been the worse time of my life. I am a shell of the person I once was.I don't want to scare you or anything, but I would exercise caution if considering Provera. I was put on Depo Provera a number of years ago, and it through me into a very deep, dark depression. Granted, at least with the Provera pill, you can just stop it if you notice any untoward side effects. With the Depo Provera (it is an injectable version which stays in your system for at least 3 months), you just have to wait it out.
All this to say, you might want to do some research on Provera before agreeing to take it.
Whatever you dedice, I hope you get some relief soon.
All the best,
Kez
