Advice please.

Im early 50's and in confirmed Menopause. I live outside of the UK and HRT is not a first line treatment for symptoms here. After 8 months on supplements suggested by the Gynecologist I feel like a wreck.
Night sweats/ hot flushes
Cloudy thoughts/ forgetting things/ getting confused by simple things
Mood swings and anxiety .
Got an appointment for next week and Im not leaving until Im taken seriously.
How long would I have to take HRT before I begin to feel like myself again?

My night sweats went within a month and were down straight away (I was on three a night).

brain fog and anxiety took longer.

@Octavia64 thank you. I think if I can just sleep I will feel more myself. Currently having to change night clothes at keast twice per night.
