Yes, Libido is very low also at the moment

so another reason to try Livial but I am concerned about putting on weight as this seems to be one of the side effects - (call me vain if you like but I was always a size 8-10 before and very fit and healthy).
It's taken me years to get back to a normal weight after GP's diagnosing me as 'depressed' and putting me on anti-depressants when I was 50. I now know the anti-depressants made me fat and why. Same thing happened to my husband when he was on Prozac last year.
It's interesting that when I read that piece about testosterone, the doctor talked about testosterone helping with libido, depression and exhaustion, which have continued to be a problem even whilst I've been on Kliovance. I'm SO sick of feeling low, especially in the winter time and would try anything to get rid of the GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
I just wish that I could talk to a medical practicioner who was able to give good advice.

I have no high blood pressure and my weight is stable (no history of breast cancer in the family) so I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't let me try Livial (Tibolone) but the low mood means I have lost confidence in myself and I find GP surgeries very uncomfortable places these days with all the stuff in the media about the struggling NHS.
Sorry to go on..............
