Anxiety, Irritability & Agitation During Menopause
Anxiety, irritability or agitation with menopause, or that has become worse with menopause changes, may actually be due to any major hormone imbalance. The symptom could be due to low estrogen, or low progesterone, or low testosterone, or even high testosterone.
Since estrogens maintain healthy function of serotonin the anxiety, irritability and agitation with menopause may be due to low estrogens. If that is the case, then EstroMend™ may be the best choice. However, anxiety, irritability and agitation with menopause may also be due to low progesterone, since progesterone maintains healthy function of GABA. If that is the case, then ProgestoMend™ may be the best choice. Testosterone maintains proper function of dopamine, which maintain healthy mood motivation, drive and reward feelings. So it low testosterone is the cause of anxiety, irritability or agitation with menopause, then TestoGain™ may be the best choice.
