HRT Anxiety

[GreenVelvetCushions]

Anyone find HRT makes them anxious?

No.
What are you on ?

No, it really helped my anxiety. Anxiety was one of the main reasons I started HRT. When my dose has been wrong the anxiety has reappeared.

Just a low dose.
I stopped taking it for a while because by anxiety was sky high.

My body was so stiff and achy I decided to try it again. But after a fee days of a very low dose of oestrogen I feel exhausted and anxious. Dreading the progesterone part.

I am wondering if I may be oestrogen dominant.. would this mean I shouldn't take HRT?

It might be that the dose is too low.

Hmm came off it because it was high and I felt like that was the issue

Yes my anxiety seems to be triggered even more by the Utrogestan this is my 3 cycle of it don't think I can carry on with this trying to get a gp for help is making it worse I was going to take the gel aswell I find that's good just so hard trying to figure all this out

Im going back on at a much lower dose after speaking to a private menopause specialist. Will see how I go.

Have you tried taking the Utrogestan vaginally?

Hi ladies so gp tomorrow now I think I mite know why my anxiety is really bad as I was not taking the gel together with it 🙈 I thought I had to stop it then take the progesterone separately dosent say on the box to carry on 🙈 so hopefully this was the case took my gel tonight feel much calmer 🙏

Oh no! That's the GP's fault for not making it clear to you. Also the chemist!

Hi again ladies so I'm a month in now on proper dose now my anxiety is still threw the roof I can't think I'm crying again my ocd is really bad I've only been on it a month properly can I just stop this I think the drs are fed up of me asking them but I've never had anxiety like this before 🙈
