Hi discogirl, I think I might have said this before, but I think it could be really important for you right now. If I don’t take utrogestan (orally) I literally lie there in bed with my eyes wide open, I take it and I’m asleep within half an hour. If you tried it for a few days and didn’t like it it would be out of your system within a few days anyway. It’s up to you but I really think it would help you. In my experience once you have been in hrt for a while, any changes you make can be quickly reversed, so you can try something and correct it quickly if necessary. I really hope you feel better soon and will be thinking of you. Xxx
Ps- in my experience oestrogen is the energising hormone but can keep you awake if you take it at night, utrogestan makes me sleep deep and wake refreshed, UNLESS I take too much, by missing my 3 day break or taking too close to food or with magnesium, in which case it keeps me awake. It is possible the utro could interact with your amitryptiline but you could try it unless it’s contraindicated. Utro taken orally can be bloomin amazing if you get it right, which I’ve done with trial and error.
