Hi all,
I have been away from this site for nearly 3 yrs !!!! Why? Because I have been amazingly good ! and I guess we all dip out if life is good, until.........problems surface ):
So for nearly 4 yrs I have been on Femeston 2 mgs. with the odd extra patch (: Every month withdrawal bleed, no symptoms dah de dah. Until the end of August. Missed a bleed- 1st time and boy oh boy, night sweats back, gluey brain, forgetting words, and mood , oh wow, free fall- just can’t be bothered to get off the sofa, appallingly insomnia, slightest thing = tears y’all know how it goes.
GP- bless ‘em- changed antidepressants, wanting to add all sorts of psychotropics, but then for me a light bulb moment. Clearly my Oestrogen has dropped! Or at least that’s what I think.
I found an old 100mcg patch, slapped it on and within 12 hours fog started to clear!!!
Question is where to go from here. I clearly need more Oestrogen, I read somewhere that if you have life long MH troubles higher doses are essential, but of course no one will prescribe over them guidelines. I have in the past tried patches and other progesterones, but femeston suited me best
So- what is the highest dose of Oestrogen in any form that anyone has ever had? What is the general view when you are on max dose, but just ain’t enough?
All info greatly received.
Thanx
