My depression became overwhelming in my early 50's in-spite of the antidepressant which had helped in the past.

I suspected it had to do with hormone changes during menopause, but I have never used birth control pills and I was not going to start using
synthetic hormones now.

My doctor explained that using compounded Bioidentical hormones, We could adjust my hormone levels back to natural levels, the dosing would be specific for my situation. Soon. I was feeling like myself again, Not only has my depression been relieved, I am thinking clearer, my bone density is improving, and the frequent UTIs. dryness and painful intercourse are a thing of the past. I couldn't have asked for a better result.

consequently, I am seriously concerned about any restrictions by the FDA that would impact the availability of cBHRT because the dose is specific for me and the hormones are as natural as my own. No "FDA approved" drug manufacturer has ever offered this common-sense approach to relieving post-menopause symptoms.
