Definitely go back to your doctors and tell them how you're feeling. It could be anxiety or the tablets giving side effects or both. Hope you're ok

I have borderline personality disorder and when I started perimenopause, the doctor thought it was my mental health acting up. They put me on meds for the depression and anxiety and mood swings but it didn't help, it made it worse. After two years of meds and multiple stays in the hospital followed by electric shock therapy, I stopped taking the meds and demanded that I be put on estrogen replacement. I feel much better now. 😌
