Hi Ladies, nothing new in this post but just interested if anyone has any thoughts about my dilemma. On Utrogestan (100mg) I sleep like a baby. I LOVE how well I sleep. But I was starting to have quite a few days where I felt tired, sometimes dizzy, zero energy; and after certain kinds of meals (too fatty), bad stomach reaction. It sucked.
I decided to switch to Provera. Great for 4 weeks, better energy during the day and to my surprise, my sleep was OK. (I've always been prone to insomnia, which terrifies me.) Three nights in a row now, insomnia. Fall asleep for an hour or two, wake up and...that's it. We all know what long nights awake are like, terrifying.
I feel now like I just have to go back on the Utro just to sleep again. But I'm torn. (I'm on 50mcg Estradot patches, am 62, been on HRT for over a decade...due to terrible sleep destroying night sweats!)
I'd welcome any comments, even just hand holding. I feel pathetic that I want to cave after 3 nights of no sleep, but insomnia just terrifies me. (I can take Zopiclone, which works, but obviously that's not a longterm solution.)
