Thought I would put this us as I know a lot of GP's reach for this particualr anti-depressant rather than prescribe HRT to women.
I was given a months supply of it years ago for what I now know were peri-menopausal symptoms. I only lasted two weeks on it as I couldn't stand how it made me feel spacy and removed from the real world.
FemSeven Conti patches (am I the only women in the world that can get these to stick ?) Vagifem 25 mcgs twice a week until the barstewards discontinue them and I have to use about 5 of the 10 mcgs - fat chance of me remembering that !!!
