Hi Everyone, I'm new here so be gentle, I have started Peri and my symptoms have been fairly minor, odd hot flushes and mood swings, but this last 2 weeks my sleep has nosedived, I was started on Sertraline and sleeping pills but felt so foggy and didn't feel I needed anything for during the day, I was then put on mertazapine and some more sleeping pills (shouldn't really be taking both but went from 4 sleeping pills at 3 hour intervals to 1 now) and have started HRT just over 7 days ago, I can literally put up with anything but the not sleeping,

I am currently furloughed so am trying to keep busy but my days are just an anxious wait/ avoidance until the battle of bed, obviously sleeping pills not the answer but was hoping the HRT would sort sleep as I have never had problems before, I have an app for CBT which GP suggested but if its hormonal I'm not sure how that will help, I am doing other things like I gave up caffeine a month ago as i get hot flush after coffee, and the bath reading ritual, other than the coming round in the morning for an hour or so I am full of beans and my appitite is through the roof, just missing the elusive zzzz's, please help!
