PERIMENOPAUSE AND FREE-FLOATING ANXIETY
Dr. Steven R. Goldstein, a trusted perimenopause specialist NYC, has helped thousands of women navigate this complex stage of life. Understanding what is happening in your body during perimenopause can help you make informed decisions about your health and reduce unnecessary anxiety or discomfort. Free floating anxiety is one of the most annoying symptoms women suffering from the effects of fluctuating cycles of unopposed estrogen (which occurs during Perimenopause) face. It is also a problem for women in Menopause. One new finding is that stable estrogen levels prevent anxiety, and that women who stop making estrogen undergo withdrawal from a natural tranquilizer. Though Xanax, a mild tranquilizer, and Paxil, an antidepressant, are no more natural remedies than Loestrin, they are widely prescribed, and my patients often ask about them.
