HRT but anxiety

[BrassicaBabe]

Hi

I hope someone here can give me some insight.

I'm on HRT and have been for a couple of years. 50 yo. 100 Estrodot patch and 1 capsule (100mg?) utrogesten. Take the latter every day because I have no periods due to depo contraception injection.

Feel that the symptoms are pretty well managed...except for this sky high anxiety.

It's not caffeine. I had to give that up last year when suddenly it did cause crazy anxiety.

Any ideas folks?! This feeling makes me want to hit the wine at lunchtime just to quiet the anxiety. (I'm not!) What's causing this and what can I do?

I wish I knew. I'm also on HRT but my anxiety is nowhere near under control. It's hideous.

Feck it then @funbags3 I'll crack open the wine. I'll pour you a glass? 🤣

I don't drink but maybe I should start.😂

Go on menopause matters website, lots of women on forum there with years of experience
and also you learn things you may not even know about
great site

Hi I'm on HRT which sorted all of my symptoms and low mood except for the anxiety. I now take magnesium glycinate before bed and it helps me sleep and reduces my anxiety. I stopped taking it for a while and my anxiety went up again so I know it works for me. It also helps me feel less bloated too. I also ,for a while , was taking the high dose tripp CBD oil and that helped but it's so expensive that I try to manage without it.

My daughter has really bad anxiety and has been prescribed propanolol which has been brilliant for her.
