Thank you for the replies!
I have suffered from depression and anxiety since childhood but haven't been on meds for a good few years, I've learned to deal with it myself. PMS brought it on but nothing major plus I've taken Starflower oil for years.
Part of my peri symptoms was feeling down and anxious but on Femoston (sequi) the white tablets made me feel great in the beginning. The grey ones brought on my anxiety and by the 3rd pack it was awful, it was like the grey tablets started to override the white ones?
I'm only a week into my 2nd pack of Elleste and I didn't feel the drop in mood when changing colour like I did on Femoston, it's been more gradual. This has made me wonder if it IS the progesterone after all, maybe this pack will tell me more. If the progesterone is stronger on these though, that would rain the anxiety attacks, I haven't had those in years.
I've never taken oestrogen on its own, I thought you couldn't unless you've had a hysterectomy?
Someone told me the patches or gel are easier on you, could this be an option? I'm worried about seeing my GP again, I feel like I'm failing at this
