Hi Thought I would share my experience as so many posts on here have helped keep me going.
Last August I was fine normal and Having a normal life-then was told had to come off hrt because of frequent migraines(since found out this is only a problem if you have aura-I don't) was told to just stop as was on low dose- WOW everything then spiralled out of control, I ended up in A&E was so ill with nausea and wretching, unable to eat, my weight has dropped to 7.5st from 9st- I feared the worse because of the weight loss, had scans endoscopy blood tests all normal . after two months i slowly started to recover and put a little weight back on even went back to work for two days, but went to see doc as was feeling increasingly anxious put on Sertraline, only took two pills and reacted very badly another trip to A&E- that was Nov 2015 and the anxiety just got worse and worse to the point I was frightened to be on my own! so was then given a full ct and brain scan - all normal. During the worst of it I really thought I would never recover or do normal things again I was a complete gibbering mess, Christmas kinda passed us by, my husband has been an absolute rock thro this. Am now on Mirtazapine 45mg at night and need Lorazapam thro the day. Am now back on HRT but only just into second month, so early days. I am now having more good than bad days but still feel I have a long way to go and am a long way from being 'me' again. But all through this the medical profession has said not connected to coming of HRT- even tho this all started about 9 days after stopping it.but haven't given any explanation for it. I am still struggling to put any weight back on as the anxiety upsets my stomach and i have frequent diarhoea and am now being referred to the local mental health team. so fed up and still not back at work.
