Tell us how you cope without HRT
Kathleen:
Hello ladies
KarineT - good luck with your Bach Flower drops and let us know how you get on. There is a section on alternative treatments and you might find it useful to post there as well.
I am post meno and came off HRT ten months ago. I now have very few physical problems but the emotional symptoms are still troubling me. I agree that they are horrible feelings and you have my sympathy.
Wishing you well.
K.

My main symptoms are lethargy, dizzinness, low, anxiety and the odd night sweat and hot flush. My my concern is the emotional aspect of it and I am looking for a natural alternative to alleviate these horrible feelings. I am going to use Bach flower drops and see if it helps.

Did the drops work? I too worry about that. A lot. Can anyone give us any after experience of coming off HRT? Utrogesten , taken orally, is not agreeing with me physically, but when I asked about different HRT the doctor just gave me a prescription for anti depressants. I tried to come off the HRT this last week but have had a horrid migraine type headache since I started (which I have suffered from for the past couple of years) and from yesterday the hot sweats are starting to kick in as is the sadness and anxiety. I stood in the kitchen this morning and just cried...no reason. So, the patch has gone back on and I have taken the utrogesten and made an appointment to see a specialist. Would still rather not be on HRT but can't see an alternative if I want a happy and "normal" life.

Hi there, I'm new here. I started peri in Oct 2012 and am still going through it (now 52). I never wanted to go on HRT and have been using different methods to deal with all the DOZENS of issues that have come up. The one that has helped me with emotional issues (and has done for many years) is Evening Primrose Oil. It has been a life saver. I don't take it all the time, just when I (or my Husband!) knows I'm going through one of those moments! You could try it and see if it helps.
Cheers
