Hi - I wonder if anyone can help. I was on elleste duo a couple of years ago and it didn't help - the dark tablets made my mood much worse. Successfully on fluoxetine which worked really well with moods but having been on that for depression for quite a few years previously I didn't want to stay on it too longterms, also the loss of libido and the increasing anxiety and insomnia creeping back in I decided to give hrt another go. My doctor was very sympathetic but had to keep checking books and consult another doctor, so not sure about her overall knowledge of hrt. I've had excellent advice from this site previously and I really believe many on this site have more knowledge than some of the docs! I have been prescribed femoston 2/10. There are 14 days of cream coloured tablets and 14 days of pink ones. Is this a conti or sequential? I have had a couple of very light periods in the last 12 months. Like many on this forum not being on anything is not an option as I would spend most days bursting into tears, itching all over, depressed, irritable and not getting much more than 3-4 hours a night sleep.
I want to be sure I am taking the correct tabs as it seems a few people have been given the wrong ones. Also, does anyone have any positive experiences of this particular hrt and how long can I expect to see relief. Doctor wasn't sure said give it a month but didn't seem to be sure.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
I'm 53 - 2 light periods in 12 months and symptoms getting unbearable!
