Thanks all for your replies- I feel encouraged and less alone.
Hirdity, that's what the study says yep... I just wondered since I have no uterus if any bleeding would still apply. There are no other studies I could find that look at 5mg so it's a bit of a stab in the dark safety wise but this whole thing feels that way a bit. Xx
Ardee, thanks for your update. I've been considering the idea of an AD, glad it's worked for you. Just a matter of finding the right one... so far they've not been so kind or the trade-offs were too significant but maybe time to try again.
Tempest, thanks for your kindness lovely. I am tempted to just wait it out for a few weeks on the 2.5 tibolone. Mood crashes to the level of intrusive thoughts make it seem very urgent though- but this morning I am feeling a bit better. Thanks for info re the transdermal too x
