Pre Menopausal. Memory Problem, Fatigue, Lack Of Interest, Unclear Thoughts. Dizziness After Trying Ginko Billoba. Any Other Medication For Clear Mind?

Hi there! I am 49 yrs. old, I do believe I am getting into menopause, I'm having problems with my mind, very forgetful ,always feeling tired,I have no interest on doing anything, all my body wants is to sleep.my thoughts are not clear. Is there any supplement/medication that can help me fairly quickly ? I have tried ginko billoba, but I felt weird like dizzy.
I really need some help ,I am returning to work in 10 days and I really need a sharp mind to do my job.
Thanks for helping me out!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Menopause and perimenopause (time period before menopause) can be associated with different symptoms.
The range and time frame of symptoms experienced can vary from woman to woman.

The emotional and cognitive issues that you are described can occur in menopause.

Treatment of menopausal symptoms can be traditional or non traditional medications.
Traditional medications would include hormone replacement therapies

Non traditional would include supplements such as black cohash.

These medications may not provide an immediate response

I hope this helps
