Hi Moody
Perhaps tell us a little more about yourself eg how old you are, and whereabouts in menopause ie how regular etc your periods are? Also which type of HRT and whether it is the type that gives you a bleed (ie two weeks on oestrogen only and then 2 weeks on the combi patches?)
Many women find the physical symptoms are the first to go but anxiety may take a little longer. You need to give each type 3 months to get your body used to it. Sometimes the progestogen in the patches gives rise to side effects but there always other options if these ones don't suit you - let's hope they do!
Good luck and let us know how you feel!
