Hi there,
Just joined the forum and thought this topic, extremely relevant to me.  I have been on Femostan 1/10 for about 8 years. ( I'm 58 ) for the last two years I've been trying to come off by reducing the dose to one tablet every other day - ie one packet lasts me two months. I don't have a bleed.  Symptoms are under control at this level.  However, GP is anxious for me to come off completely. I've tried several times but as soon as I cut down further, symptoms reappear almost immediately. Night sweats, flushes, anxiety etc. I have a demanding job, that requires me to be on the ball all day so it's very difficult to cope.
Has anyone else tried this method of weaning off Femostan ?  Any advice to offer.

Hi Carolu

Just looking at your post, shouldn't you be on Femoston 1/5 which is the HRT for post menopause?  That's the HRT I was thinking I would transfer to in a couple of years.

Hi KatieLiz,

Many thanks for your comment - GP has never mentioned an alternative.
I'll certainly do some research and ask about that at my next check up. Sounds like a good idea.
