Hi, I've just stopped hrt 3 weeks ago.
I was using it for VA as the local treatments did not seem to be enough. I was on it for a year, first Utrogestan and gel, then Provera and gel, then Evorel
I could simply never settle on any combination, and the side effects were difficult to manage. Very tired on it, and the constipation, omg. I never knew it was even possible to have it to that degree.
I was also emotionally unstable on the patch/Provera combo and managed to have a breakdown last summer.
I seem to be managing better without, and the mood and energy levels are better
Some VA but I seem to be managing so far.
I am taking citalopram which helps with the VA as well as mood. I took ADs with the hrt but they didn't seem to work together.
