Hi all you knowledgeable ladies out there!
I have been on Femoston 1/10 for about 4 months and it has been suiting me fairly well. At the same time, I have been on Mirtazapine (an AD) for the past 6 months which one GP prescribed for anxiety & insomnia. However, this GP has since left the practice and 4 weeks ago my new GP said that she didn't know why I had been prescribed this particular AD and advised me to wean myself off slowly since I was feeling well. This I have done slowly.
However, in the past week, I have started to have my old peri symptoms - palpitations, anxiety, extremely itchy skin which wakes me during the night and horrendous night sweats. I can also feel myself withdrawing again and becoming a hermit.
I am wondering if perhaps I need a higher dose of HRT - perhaps Femoston 2/10? My 50th birthday is approaching in 2 weeks, I'm having a huge party, and I don't know if I'll be able to face anyone!
Does anyone have any experience? Grateful for any replies.
