Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. All the symptoms and drugs you are mentioning here are related to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness and hypertension. Your anxiety has crossed over to the PTSD due to the stress you were experiencing and also due to the menopause. You need to continue the medicines.

Life style changes are necessary to overcome the current anxiety disorder and to reduce the dosage of medicines. You need to calm down and live normally. you are still getting anxious and that is the reason for your extreme sweats, dizziness and feeling of loneliness. The symptoms are continuing because of the menopause. Within a year or so, the severity should lessen. Don't worry about the medicines. Be active, engage in some hobbies, keep your mind happy and pleasant, do not worry about past or future etc.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
