great...I need to be more angry and jittery - my husband will be so pleased.


My doctor mentioned the cream and we tried it for a bit, but it didn't seem to be doing what she expected it to do, so I stopped using it.

Yeah, that's the way I felt about it too. I just wanted to put the warning out because I've heard of at least one other person who reacted that way to progesterone. Since people take it to reduce menopausal symptoms, they may think the emotions are coming from menopause and not the medication.

If it works for someone, that's great. It just made me not even want to be around myself.

Yeah, Larry keeps asking me when this will be over. I wish I knew. I try to keep a lid on it but I still feel the feelings.

They gave me a prescription for Tramadol to help with my pain. This has not helped me. I am like at my wit's end here because the pain can be debilitating. What, if anything, have you tried and has proven helpful in minimizing the migraine headaches?

Status: offline 		I wonder if the migraines are related to what you are eating. A lot of women find that they have some food sensitivities (stomach upsets, diarrhea) just before their period that they don't normally have. You may have been fine in the past but have now developed this sensitivity.

Just a thought...

Hope it's a short one.

The dr gave me Tramadol for my knee, it doesn't work for me either. I'd have to take it with 3 advils. When I told him he gave me darvocet. I can't see that helps either but it did help my headache.

Status: offline 		Thank you Melissa! It looks as if it's a recent warning, just a few days.

I am very careful to only take one pill, and only at night. I don't take it with Advil or Tylenol or any other pain medication. Some days I'd like to when the knee pain is too great but I grew up hearing about Karen Quinlan so I won't even have an adult beverage if I need a pain pill.

Right about now, I think I could get in a fist fight. And win

Anyone else ever get that way?

Frequently... however, mine is due to bipolar, not menopause...

Kate, I didn't know Darvon and Darvocet were about the same drug till I read the literature Melissa linked to. I wonder if there is enough Tylenol in there to hurt my kidneys.

Status: offline 		Out of control eyebrows were mentioned earlier in this thread. I've been plucking, but my brows were getting awfully thin because of it. I just bought an eyebrow trimmer and I think it's a better alternative. It cuts off the "curls", but still leaves me some of the brow. Now I understand why some older ladies had penciled in brows. Oh, the things we learn as we get older.

You should be fine then as long as you aren't taking anything else with acetaminophen (Tylenol) in it. The problem was that folks didn't know the drug was in other things and were unintentionally overdosing.

yep...brushing them up and then trimming the edges is much better than plucking.

Whenever I have a date with Miss Clairol, I use an old mascara wand to put color on my eyebrows, too. Yep, I look pretty silly for about 30 minutes, but then I don't have to color in my eyebrows for about 3-4 weeks.
