Hi  similar situation. Estradot 100 give me a reading of around 414   It  has cleared up the original symptoms of severe muscle spasms  and back/rib pain but has given me severe anxiety.  Alll day and night anxious about my health
 Tried testosterone but was intolerant higher red blood cell count 
I hope we can all find something to help us. It’s a cruel comfort to know we aren’t alone x

Sorry to hear that Ali, have you tried any progesterone? 
I may ask my specialist again but I have a feeling it will may not agree with me but there are different types.  I know b4 covid stuff I was ok on E alone but as Scampidoodle said it may settle the histamine issue I developed.  Have you been in Estrogen only for long?

Hi this reply is a bit late. I’ve been on estrogen only since august 2021. Initially 4 pumps gel then everol 100 patch then there were supply issues so now on Estradot 100. The estrogen dominance has been building up since I started it but in my ignorance of all anxiety symptoms and estrogen dominance I didn’t know what was happening.  Doctors put me on antidepressants which didn’t help and I had intolerant side effects. I also truly believe they were suppressing the estrogen because when I came off them my original muscle spasm etc came back for a couple of days then as estrogen  kicked in I felt quite cheery for about 5 days or so. 
I need to say that my estrogen journey has been a bit strange. I’ve kept a diary of all things and for the gel and patches at various time points from starting each one I felt great some times it was  nearly for 2 weeks others for just a few days   The time points were 2 weeks after starting, 6 to 8 weeks then three months. After which symptoms came back or as it is now the estrogen dominance anxiety comes back. I hope this bit makes sense  it’s been very  strange!!!
Anyhow I went to Newson clinic on dec 6th and came off AD’s same time. I  was prescribed Utrogestan and I don’t think I’m going to be able to tolerate it. I’m taking one 100mg tablet every other day and then to increase to every day which I did last night and I felt dreadful last night and was sweaty. I’m not sure how I’m going to tell if it’s the estrogen or progesterone that’s causing anxiety  unless of cause it gets really really severe. I’m sorry this has been a very long post.  I’m seriously at my whits end

Ali P as you have no womb why don’t you try just 1 progesterone tablet when you feel the high oestrogen anxiety building. Having no womb you can get away with this, and don’t have to take the large amounts of prog that can be so debilitating. The good thing about this is you won’t have to go through progesterone withdrawal.

Symptoms oestrogen is too high is anxiety, and too much progesterone is depression x

Hi perinow. Unfortunately the high estrogen anxiety is there all the time. I’ve tried reducing the patch alittle but it only reduced the anxiety slightly and original muscle spasm etc start to come back.
Back to meno clinic this next week. I had a melt down one day this week. Bad thoughts
