New to the forum and hoping to be able to discuss my struggles with folks who may understand. I have been on SSRI's for many years. Was finally diagnosed with Cyclothymia about 12 years ago and with various anticonvulsants, have managed to have a successful career and keep my symptoms fairly well controlled.

Enter perimenopause. Fluctuating hormones have made everything a struggle. I am just trying to make it from one day to the next. Working closely with my psychiatrist, but I feel so alone and confused. I have had some problems at work due to uncontrolled moods.

Just struggling. Currently on Effexor XR and Tegretol.

Hope to meet some friendly people here.
