Is it menopause or HRT making me crazy???!!!

[skw123]

I've been taking Novofem for about 5 months now. My menopause symptoms weren't that bad, minor hot spells and a bit of vaginal dryness, since I was in a new relationship I decided to just take the HRT and avoid any nasty symptoms as well as sorting the dryness. It worked ... at first! But I've become an emotional lunatic who over reacts to every little thing! Every day I tell myself I'm leaving my amazing partner because he may have forgotten to make me his number 1 priority briefly! My question for you guys is … do I need higher dose HRT or is it the HRT making me crazy … seriously, I'm balling my eyes out every morning convinced the world is against me! And I'm normally the sane one everybody comes to when in need …. HELP please!!!!

Erm.... are you me?
I have no answers but all the same questions.

I had to try a couple of different brands of HRT tablets before I found the one that suited me. Perhaps you need to go back to your GP and tell them that things aren't improving for you, and is there another make you can try.

It could even be that your menopause symptoms have got worse recently, and the pills you are on aren't strong enough for you now.

Talk to your GP about the side affects. There's often teething problems with finding the right one for you.
