recently been experiencing anxiety, depression and infrequent hot flashes. I was told by my doctor that I could not take estrogen due to my mother passing away at age 53 from breast cancer. I tried Wellbutrin but could not continue due to the side effects that it produced. What treatment options are available to me that don't entail the horrendous side effects. These symptoms first appeared a few months ago.
