Hi all, hope you're all good today 🥰
Sorry to sound so dramatic, but i'm terrified tbh. To cut a long story short, I'm suffering atm with pounding heart, hot pulsating face and anxiety in the morning. I have nothing to be anxious about! I think I'm anxious because i can't get rid of this particular symptom. And if I don't have that, I feel a bit low and unmotivated. I have had this more on than off for months and months 😒.
I was on hrt since March, gel and utrogestan (having previously tried patches last year) and nothing seems to be working, even after increasing. I was previously on 100mg Sertraline which didn't help at all.
I could not take it anymore, so came off all hrt and the Sertraline, and my Dr has put me on Fluoxetine 20mg.... back to the drawing board 🙄 she seems to think I wasn't having enough oestrogen gel, but I'm sure it made it worse in the end.
I hate this and trying to alter x y and z and adding this, that and another to feel better. I have been on the Fluoxetine for 2 weeks now..... do you think this might help? I really don't have a life as much at the moment.... I'm so tired of this . Also been trying my partner's gabapentin in the morning (I know i shouldn't) which helps, but then I feel horrible and spaced out. I'm so at a loss. I can cope with other things, but not this morning pounding heart xxxx by the way, I'm still in peri and 48 xx
