What worked for you? Terrible Anxiety and hormonal acne on HRT

As per the title really. I've been on HRT a couple of years, which has helped enormously with night sweats and weepy moods. But I've realised gradually my anxiety and hormonal acne are getting worse and worse. The anxiety really is crippling me, and I'm so fed up with it. Other delightful symptoms include a non-existent sex drive and regular brain fog. I did have an appointment with my doctor fairly recently, and they tweaked my femoston dose, but that doesn't seem to be helping. They really wanted me to have a coil fitted, but I'm not at all keen on that at all after hearing some real horror stories. I'm currently taking femoston 1/10 and estradiol, but I wonder if perhaps I should be pushing for something else?

Just read your post and tbh I feel the same. I wake up feeling grim, anxious with heart palpitations. I struggle to get through the working day. HRT seems to be wearing off & also restarted AD but they seem to have worn off too. I don't enjoy life much but seem to just go through the motions. Sorry no real advice but just to say you're not alone.
