I am 43 years old and going through the menopause . I was on the contraceptive injection depo so my periods had stopped on that. I started getting awful symptoms in May the sweats , shaking and trembling inside , discharge that would soak my pyjamas at night , insomnia , constant need to go toilet , panic attacks,Diahorea and anxiety . The Dr thought I may of been suffering from depression and maybe having a breakdown as was always crying but think where i was so scared as to what was wrong and would lay there for 2 nights in a row with no sleep .
I was not convinced i was just depressed as my mum went through early Menopause at 39 . As I was on depo injection we didn't know if i was peri menopausal as my periods had stopped 3 years ago on depo which is normal . I went to a family planning clinic for the discharge as my Dr said maybe ibs and discharge was from Bottom which I knew it wasn't . The clinic examined me and said your cervix is thinning I think Your going through the menopause which is causing the discharge .Also done a blood test where my fsh levels were menopause stage . My Dr said no blood test not accurate as depo would effect result . I believed the clinic and felt happy as finally thought this I why I feel so rotten im Not going mad or about to be sectioned ha ha . My Dr reluctantly gave me prempak low dose which worked for 2-3 months but then symptoms slowly came back although not as bad so they upped the hrt dose To prempak 1.25 i was on the lower dose before .This was a month ago but I'm again having night sweats again and awful migraines which i cant cope with and slight anxiety . I went back to the Dr who has switched me to another one premique . I read this is for ladies who have not had a period for 12 Months . I asked the dr will i still have periods on this one and she said yes . i read that you dont on this one so very confused . she did say the progesteoen part was different from
Prempak so may help with headaches but worried the dose is low so my symptons will return ?Not sure if its right for me as I don't know if that applies to Me about no periods dor 12
Months as my depo stopped periods . I have stopped depo in aug any advise would be great .
