is there a cure for menopausal depression?

my wife has been in menopause for 15 months now. every 14 to 18 days out of each month she is severly depressed, cant go out, doesnt want to see anyone, panics about everything, cant drive, no confidence, but - will clean house till shining, never stops cleaning. also, feels hopeless etc. on the other hand, the other two weeks or so of the month, feels on top of the world, goes shopping, buys clothes, will drive anywhere, full of confidence - more than her usual self it seems. doctor has tried prozac with anatriptalene, now just anatriptalene plus a second go with hrt (but a stronger dose). after a month, still no change

I think it will take longer than a month to show results.
I've been through this and believe me it's soul destroying. All I can say is that it does eventually pass, the depression lifts and life gets back to normal. Have a look at the site below, although I expect you know most of it already. cheer up, be supportive, it passes.

I keep feeling incredibly itchy and hot all over. doctors don't seem to know whats wrong. think its menopause

I am 47 year old female at the end of my tether.I have tried anti-histamines, gels and lotions,fungal treatments,and vitamins. I cant sleep or concentrate because of this incredible all over itch.

could be an overactive thyroid - I had terrible itching and was constantly hot, even though it was winter. Ask your gp for a blood test.
