Kimberly, I haven't tried any synthetics. I did want to say that the moods and personality changes seem to be just so frustrating though! I'm finding myself so much more teary and easily frustrated now than I ever was before. Especially when I mess up at work, which is very maddening, since I'm learning a lot of new stuff, so it's to be expected that I'm going to mess up at times. My boss is a 29 yr old male, so I really don't want to have to try to explain to him that it's Menopause messing with me.
Oh the joys of aging. LOL
