In total I have been on HRT for 11 weeks. In the 11 weeks I have tried Femonston for about 3 weeks. Felt my anxiety was heightened. I was on Evorel Sequi for 5 weeks and consultant changed me over to the Evorel Conti because I reported when I was on the oestrogen only patches I felt unwell. Now I am on the conti for 2.5 weeks and my symptoms remain - comes and goes giving me a day or two weekly relief. My consultant says after three months, if no change she would consider increasing my oestrogen.
I have to say it hasn’t got worse than before I was on HRT but haven’t seen anything significant. My main symptoms has always been the physical symptoms of anxiety. Muscle aches, chest ache, dizziness, breathless.
My question is should I just end HRT and go cold turkey and hope for the best as I probably won’t be any worse off at this rate? I just wonder if I am being impatient. I have tried Escitalopram but I wasn’t tolerant with it and because of that I am nervous about trying anything else. I have tried mindfulness and the Dare program, CBT which have all helped with coping mechanisms but at times feel overwhelmed. Anxiety isn’t a symptom I have ever experienced before peri and just have no idea if HRT is going to work.
Anyone with any advice?
