I am 48 and in meno. My dr suggested 2mg of sandrena gel, but I literally couldn't sleep.
So for the last 2 months I have been taking 1mg.
My insomnia has got worse to the point that I am literally not sleeping!
During the day I feel great, and have loads of energy, but at night I cannot sleep!
Should I reduce the dose to 1/2 mg, or just change the type of estrogen?
I have an appointment with meno dr in couple of weeks, but it is so difficult to cope with work when your not sleeping!

Lack of sleep is draining.  Maybe put the product name into the search box and see what pops up?  Make notes ;-)

Thanks CKLD. The last couple days I have been using 1/2 mg of gel and slept better.
Hopefully when I see the meno specialist he can decide whether I need a lower dose or a different type.

Perhaps take it in the morning instead of at night (if you aren't already doing so)?
