« on: May 23, 2021, 05:31:19 AM »

Hello, I am new to this so I hope I am posting in the right place  ::) I have just changed from evorel sequi to everol conti patches I am 52.  I am very irritable and wondered it taking menopace with hrt is something that anyone else has found helpful?

Thank you Andrea

Morning.  There is an 'alternative' room so you may find info there.

MayB look at your overall diet, exercise regime, life-style?  Also your age and when your last period was. 

I would give the HReplacementT a chance: may take 3-4 months for the body to settle : B4 adding anything or how will you know which product is helping?

I do take menopace and have done for years , along side HRT and on their own. I have started taking evening primrose oil for the last few months. I do not know if it works but I feel like it is doing me some good x

I'm still on sequi and am progesterone intolerant (high anxiety) and unfortunately for the first few months of my Estrogel/Utrogetan routine I took very seriously the warnings I'd read here and there about not taking St John's Wort or Agnus Castus when taking HRT. Depression and anxiety skyrocketed, I first reintegrated SJW which kept depression under control and then agnus castus which makes my PMS-y Utrogestan week far more bearable.

Borage/Evening primrose did nothing for me but are helpful for many. Otherwise the usual suspects for mood (among many other things) are B vitamins and magnesium which I would take anyway regardless of HRT regime.
Plus exercise and meditation really do help.
