Anyone else like a moody teen?

I'm 54 and my main symptom has been mood swings and after months and months of hoping it was just a phase i finally started HRT. I'm experiencing some improvement but still have low mood. I feel like a moody teenager again, but one who has to work and raises children. Anyone else experienced something similar?

Yes! It’s awful and HRT hasn’t helped, yet.

Whilst it's reassuring to know it's not just me, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Hope the HRT starts to help @Teaandtoastfortwo

If your HRT doesn't help, go back to your GP as you might need a higher strength or a different type of HRT.

The moodswings are awful, you have my full sympathy ❤️

Thanks @AMurderofMurderingCrows I am going to, my gp surgery says I have to give this dose 3 months before they will review and look to increase dose. I started in July so have a wait unless this dose can make further improvement.
