Back in 2013 i went on femoston while still tapering off valium, as i was addicted.
I changed to patches and utrogestan and gradually worked my way up the doses from 25mcg to 100mcg before the flushes went away but the anxiety remained.
Anyway i have got myself readdicted to valium and I did not realise till cotober this year, that progesterone was cross tolerant with valium, so no wonder my anxiety never went away.
I am perimenospusal so was taking 100mcg evorel and 200mcg prog 12 days a month, but on the days I was not taking prog I was going crazy, no sleep, bad moods, but no flushes.
I decided to take 100mcg prog every day and things evened out, but around october i started getting unscheduled bleeding, while on the sequential hrt, and my bladder constatntly felt full, i presume there is a hump in my womb pressing on my bladder.
I got a light but most painful period ever in september, then a really heavy one in october, but none since only spotting and mild period pain.
I currently take 100mcg estradiol patch and 100mcg utro daily, dont want to go back on sequential, too mentlly unstable. GP knows all about this now, he referrreed me to a ultrasound to see whats going on in my womb.
I want to stay on this hrt regime, because taking prog for 12 days a month is like upping my valium dose for 12 days a month, a receipe for disaster.
I looked up the medicatoin for uterine polyps or fibroids, both not good for someone tapering valium.
I want to stay on the same hrt regime.
I am really worried about this.
I wonder if someone can help.
I'm 50 so not yet postmeno, but i wanna stay on conti cos sequi messed up my head with its cross tolerance to valium, and i stabilised mentally since going on 100mg utro daily instead of 200 12days a month
appreciated thanks
