HELP ...🙃🙃 I feel completely bamboozled hoping someone can shed some light ..I am peri menopausal , I’m 48 years old the last few years I’ve had symptoms..wake a lot in the night.. anxious .. brain fog..aching bones..very tired ..low libido ..low mood.. palpitations etc ... I don’t get hot flushes in the day just get very hot and it wakes me in the night and still have periods. My doctor has just prescribed elleste duet 1 mg although my bloods have come back normal .. so not in full swing menopause but I know it’s only going one way !!! Most of the reviews I read are negative and a bit scary .. is there anyone who has symptoms similar to mine and had success ?? .. 🙏😅😅

Hi there, I’ve just started this pill 6 days ago. I’ve just turned 51 and had the hot flashes every 49mjns to an hour sweats at night, up 3 times to go loo, terrible mood swings, no libido. I thought I’d give it a go, though the side effects do worry me. Well on day 6 and from the 3rd day it started with anxiety with muscle cramps in legs and upper chest area and sternum also. Day 6 today and I have a horrendous headache and sore neck either side also feeling lethargic today. So not a good start! I thought I was going to feel much better, I’m going to persevere but if these symptoms continue they are going in the bin. The only upside is the hot flashes are a little better today I’ve only noticed 4/5 today so far. But I can’t stick these muscle cramps and spasms must be the tablets can’t be anything else. Sorry it’s not great I might go back to GP and ask for the gel which is what I originally wanted but was thobbed off with the cheap version. Let you know if these symptoms continue

I've been on these Elleste HRT tablets for 18 months and I have had no problems with them. They have stopped my hot flushes and I have not had any side effects.

I've been on Elleste Duet 2mg/1mg since last August, my non stop flashes are all but gone. (Think I've had 4 in the last two months) I can finally sleep at night, I don't wake up wet and cold. My neither regions are no longer as dry.

I've only had a positive experience too.
