Well just an update, I moved from patches to gel on 9th November.
Symptoms are insomnia and anxiety (anxiety is doing ok actually)
I like the gel and I use two pumps in the morning.
At the same time I went on the gel however, I also decided to try and taper off my 10mg amitry. Just taking a lilttle sliver off with a pill cutter. Don't know if its to do with slightly reducing the amitry or what but I only got 3 hrs last night.
It seems that when I increase my hrt or move to another hrt ( as in moving from patches to gel) I seem to sleep really well for about 1 week then it all goes south again. Does this mean I need to increase my gel to maybe an extra half pump?
I only started using the gel on 9th Nov, so I'm a bit worried about whether to increase the gel to an extra half pump so soon or what. Any advice would be gratefully received.
I know you have to give things time, but the gel seemed to work for me, it seems to wear off after the first week xxx
