Do I need to increase my oestrogen patch?

I’ve been on estradot 50 (plus progesterone on days 14-28) for approximately 5 months and was definitely feeling better. However, over the past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing irrational anxiety and awful nighttime waking with anxiety and hot flushes. I’m also feeling general rage again. These were my original main peri symptoms and the reason I sought hrt. Do you think I need to up my oestrogen dose? Is 75 very high? I’m 47 and still having periods.

With all of this, it's a case of trying it to see.

75mcg is not a huge amount. It's about 2mcg ( as a tablet) and patches go up to 100mcgs.

You just need to experiment and see how it feels. You can always drop back to 50 again.)

sorry- typo- 2mgs as a tablet.
