energy zapped
How do you get your energy back after menopause. It's been over a year now since my last period. I just don't hve any energy.
No i am not taking any kind of horomones. I also have what they say is menopausal anxiety so i take wellbutrin and xanax for this. Some days i really feel good others not so good.
are you taking any kind of hormones? I am peri menopausal. I have been taking bio identical hormones for about 4 months now, and am just now starting to feel a bit human. Testosterone will help with the energy.
There are lots of natural things to take like DHEA, MACA, and the other vits the poster listed above.

Very often, our hormones still need some balancing out before we start to feel more "normal" or even just a bit better. Hot flushes, mood swings and all sorts of things can zap our energy during menopausal changes. A lot of us feel "sleep deprived" even if we aren't.
One of the things that you may want to do is to get a blood test for iron levels, B vitamins, D levels as well as thyroid levels to see if any of these are off as can often happen during menopausal ages and hormone fluctuations over the perimenopausal years.
Taking a good quality vitamin supplement, appropriate for this stage of life can help tremendously. A trip to a good and knowledgeable healthfood store can help you decide which one you need or, perhaps, a few.
Trying to get good quality sleep and exercising, even walking daily for 30 minutes can help tremendously.
If you haven't already talked to your family doctor about this, it might be a good idea to make an appointment and discuss how you feel. Certainly, a blood test can rule out a number of physical causes.
Last of all, this is also a time in our lives when our children are moving out or have moved out, grandchildren can be coming into play and elderly parents can become a problem on top of our everyday life problems/obligations. If you have a good support system, it all helps. Getting out and joining something enjoyable to you where you have others that share your interests can help form a group of friends that can lift us from depression if it's there as well as take our minds off of other things that may be weighing us down. If you're struggling a bit with personal issues/problems, talking it over during a session or two of some counselling can also help take some strain off of us as during this time frame in life, everything can feel magnified greatly and take more of a toll than it would have prior to these bodily changes.
