I am 51 years of age and I'm sure it’s the menopause with me. I haven’t had a period for over a year. My hot flushes are every night now. My GP has prescribed Prozac! Can you recommend anything less invasive?

Unfortunately a lot of doctors seem to think that antidepressants will help with menopause symptoms!

I would suggest a fermented soya supplement such as Menopause Support, this is traditionally used to help gently raise and balance oestrogen levels which in turn should reduce symptoms.

You can also add in Sage tincture to help directly with the flushes.

A good female multivit supplement may be advisable too.
