I felt that way too and then I started having hot flashes and night sweats. I couldn't sleep at night because I was either throwing off covers or trying to find them to put them back on or just laying there, awake. At first it wasn't too bad and I thought "Hey, this is going to be a breeze!" After all my Mom didn't have any trouble going through the change. WRONG!!! I was extrememly grouchy...... or crying all the time. So my doctor recommended going on Prempro for a year and see how things are when I go off. She thought that it might help me get through the worst of it. We'll see!!
