I started HRT patches a few months ago, and felt a big difference in my moods etc after a few weeks. However, I now feel like I'm back in the same anxious, snappy state that I was in previously, with some days feeling as if I am grief-stricken and full of anxiety, analysing every twinge and panicking about my health etc.
I know that a lot of this is also as a result of the lockdown and being cooped up, not seeing friends etc.
I am on 100 microgram patches.
I asked my GP a couple of weeks ago if my dosage was just a starting dosage, and whether it would be reduced etc. She said no, it was a symptom-reducing and bone-protecting dosage that I would remain on.
However, I am wondering how we gauge whether it is too much, or if there are obvious signs of it being too high? I have googled high oestrogen symptoms, but wondering if any of you have experience of this.
