Hi,
It seems that you are having severe menopausal symptoms.
Increasing the dose of attivan is not proper, you may require Gynaec consultation and may require some hormonal treatment.
Attend menopausal clinic and take their advice.
Remain busy in your routine work and avoid sedentary life.
Ok and take care.
