Hi, I'm 40 and started on HRT 2.5 months ago after suffering extreme anxiety/breakdown at Christmas. I am also taking citalopram which has helped me in the past. I'm wondering if I really need HRT, and that maybe I was clutching at straws, desperate for something to make me feel better. I was having brain fog and tiredness last summer, but I'd also just had a baby.
Anyway, my mood is all over the place. I'm actually worse on the oestrogen patches than the progesterone (i'm on evorel 50) and I'm starting to wonder if all the hormone fluctuations are making me worse, and that maybe I should let the citalopram do its thing on its own.
My other thought is cutting my evorel 50 patch in half and seeing if a lower dose might work?
Any advice would be much appreciated, I'm losing it a bit now x
