After 8 months, I have been told by a nurse practitioner to STOP my HRT. I queried this and she reassures me there was no need to reduce, just stop. I had severe migraine for a week and now have anxiety and my mood has plummeted.
Started HRT in Feb, worked great intially, then my mood and motivation recently started to drop. I was also iching all over. Last year a Danish research paper found a causal factor between HRT and depression
I wouldn't mind, but I queried the possibility of depression with the original prescribing GP, after a friend said it made her suicidal. My GP denied this was a thing
It was just doled out to me, no prior blood tests to check hormone levels, she didn't even check my blood pressure.
Im really saddened that surgeries don't seem to take proper care of menopause patients and have the right knowledge.
