What can I do take make the menopause a bit easier to get through? I'm 48, periods are fine. I'm tired but only sleep for 4 or 5 hours, which makes me grumpy and tearful by the afternoon, but can not nap as I am working. No sex drive. Palpitations and feelings of rage. Mental block half way through a sentence. Are there any vitamins or something I can take to make things a bit easier?

Poor sleep will affect how you feel during the day so getting a good night’s sleep is very important.

You may also find Menopause Support helpful for your other symptoms (as long as you are not on any hormonal contraception/medication).

However, if your symptoms persist or get worse it is best to go and see your doctor.
