How long have you been taking it? It's certainly a "thing" that some types of HRT suit people better than others, despite GPs insisting it's all the same dose. I'm fine on patches, dreadful on gel.

Hi there about 3 weeks now and feel awful. Anxiety and sickness.

I would ask if you can switch back to the other brand. Or try patches.

Thank you. Am seeing the menopause specialist tomorrow for some guidance and see if I can. Thank you for your kind message

I'm same as @IkBenDeMol . I'm fine on patches but terrible anxiety on gel.

It's weird, isn't it. I think some of us are just more awkward. I was the same years ago when I started on the contraceptive pill, tried about three brands before I found one I was suited to, even though they're all basically the same thing.
