I started perimenopause, in my early 40's and was in full blown menopause by 44. I was lucky, I didn't have any symptoms except not having to deal with periods anymore which I viewed as a huge plus.

My Dr. thinks that the reason I didn't have any symptoms is because I'm on Effexor as a psych med. Apparently at a low dose it can be use to treat menopause symptoms, especially hot flashes.
