Hi had to share my morning feelings, about to start (tomorrow) last week on Sequi patches, had bad panic attack last night, could not calm myself down for ages, tried breathing from the diaphragm, tried the anxiety exercise, didn't work, I did calm down eventually and mentioned to get back to sleep, feel drained exhausted and in tears this morning, I live alone so its much worst when you wake up cant calm down, I nearly rang NHS direct or 999 as have done that before when had chest pains and been really scared as did not know what was going on, but you cant do that as they are not for that, there are people seriously ill to help, Im in tears this morning emotionally and mentally drained!, as mentioned previously the problems are with the progesterone combined patches and not the estrogen only, also does anybody find that especially when you wear the patch for the four day period it just seems dry with nothing on end towards the end, it makes you think then has it stopped working, probably not but I don't fully understand patches yet. anyway my early morning emotional outburst over, one question is anybody taking anything alongside the patches for the anxiety as my doctor is so strict about mixing stuff staying its dangerous, apart from the odd drop of rescue remedy Im not taking anything, it may help to take something like calms at night to help sleep/anxiety if I can take them?? x
