Hi Blitzen, I came off just recently for the last 8 weeks. I'm also taking citalopram, which has helped with the meno symptoms, but I need quite a high dose to get the relief...and the high dose turned me into a demotivated zombie!
So I cut the citalopram, just by a tiny bit, and the VA and dry eyes at night have come roaring back, with some joint stiffness. My Vagifem pessary fell out this morning, completely undissolved! And there was me, wondering why it wasn't working.
Because I'm not necessarily the most stable of people, I had chucked all my HRT in the bin. I've just had to fish it all out (yuck!) and stick on an Estradot. I get very tired on HRT AND antidpressants, but I need both these days.
I've never had much in the way of hot flushes, although thinking about it I had one yesterday, but it was fleeting and didn't involve sweating. Must be awful - until I came on here I did not realise how disruptive they must be to quality of life. I do hope the clinic sort you out with something that works.
