Enforced switch of HRT (due to no supply) from Premique (low dose) to Femoston Conti (ultra low dose), after several years on the first.
Always 'weaning off', seeing as I held out as long as possible with the meno symptoms & tried every alternative under the sun before finally caving in to HRT. Cut pills up almost for the whole period on it, with the last few years my optimum dose was 1/3rd pill, ticked along comfortably. Can't get Premique so switched nearly 3 weeks ago to Femoston described as "ultra low dose" though appears stronger it has different ingredients so difficult to actually tell, can only really go by the descriptions on here.
Stuck to my 1/3rd regime & all looked OK for first 2 weeks, but hot flushes kicking back in at night. Firstly only 2 or 3 but building up to 6 last night!!
Fairly mild in comparison to the bad old days but they wake me up so lack of sleep will build up to be a problem.
I can see I may have to up the dose..........but I'm proper fed up. That's it, whinge/rant over.
