Hi Westie,
I'm new in this forum and this is my first post
To your question, YES. Exactly experiencing the same, unfortunately!
I had initially only 1 pump of Oestrogen until March this year, and was doing well. Then, symptoms worsened a lot (started getting lot of palpitations, anxiety attacks which felt like adrenaline surges, insomnia etc). After this have tried to increase, first to 2 pumps which I needed to divide into two doses (1 in the morning, 1 in the evening), as applying 2 pumps on one go caused a reaction of sudden very high anxiety, tachycardia, diarrhoea etc. Almost felt like having had an overdose.
Overall my symptoms have continued and my estradiol reading was only 160 with two pumps, so have tried to up to 3, but had to cut back to 2 very quickly as it seems I simply cannot tolerate more than 2 and even 2 only by splitting into two doses. At the same time, two is not enough to control the symptoms
So I'm really puzzled as to what to do. Will discuss with my gynaecologist on Friday and hopefully will get some advice how to continue.
Would love to learn if someone has similar experience and has found any solution?
Thanks to all lovely ladies. x
