Quite so Dotty! - I am mid 60's and still taking HRT - the current guidance is that it;s OK to carry on if no medical contra-indication and if symptoms recur after you stop. On that subject some women continue to get symptoms after stopping HRT or reducing the dose even long after menopause and some women still get flushes and sweats for some years even if they haven't taken HRT. I gather from what I've read that often the symptoms resolve (those that recur after stopping HRT) but it can take 9 months to a year. Many of us are not prepared t put up with that while working or busy livres wityh families etc so carry on. All the time you are taking it you are benefiting from protection to your bones and cardiovascular health.
Personally I would wean off rather than stopping suddenly, as, if you are one of those whose symptoms are going to recur, they may well come back dramatically wityh sudden cesssation rather than a gradual return.
....or as Dotty says- you may be one of the lucky ones who doesn't
