Oh my god. I'm on such a high dose of venlafaxine - 337.5mg but now finally diagnosed with all the signs of the menopause confirmed by a benign and inactive endometrium (endo bx pipelle) and literally about to about to apply my HRT gel now as my urine HCG is negative and period late again. The menopausal symptoms have seriously messed up my mental health and affected my work so much I have been off sick this time for 3 months.
