Thanks to you all, I really appreciate the input, it can only help us having more information from each other when there's so little solid research to go on.
The problem for me is that I'm already on Evorel 100 patches, which I think I'm right in saying are equivalent to 4 pumps of oestrogel, and I can just about get thru 7 days of utrogestan 100mg. So that's what I've been doing, but I still feel awful - the main problem is the incredibly acute anxiety and dread first thing in the morning, and enduring that every single day for a whole year has resulted in associated depression, but I see that as reactive to my situation, not hormonal, as my original depression was sorted by the high level of oestrogen.
I'm super-sensitive to any kind of psychotropic drug, so ADs and anti-anxiety meds can't help; the worst thing is I think testosterone is the missing part of the jigsaw, but I seem to be super-sensitive to that in the same way, so when I tried it it made me very depressed. So I'm at a point where I'm really wondering if there is anything anyone can do for me, or am I just stuck with this awful situation until my body adjusts?
