My guide is 1-5 : 0 being no anxiety, 5 being reach for the extra medication  ::) : it gives me a guide showing that actually, I did get through!

I'm sorry you are also not feeling great tropical, my anxiety came back a little this afternoon. I Met up with a friend who is a bit anti HRT and because i am not 100% comfortable taking any sort of medication, it made me doubt if I was doing the right thing. Then I started to worry about the risks etc which started my whole anxiety up again. I am not one to give up on things though and am going to stick with it for the 3 months, hoping that the anxiety about taking it will go away with the rest of the symptoms.

Stop listening to people who think that they can 'do' without.  Maybe they can, maybe their time will arrive when they need medication intervention  ::)

This is about *you* …….. you DO NOT have to tell anyone else which medication you are taking, do you tell them each time you go to the loo  :-\ ……….

Good point CLKD. I never normally listen to other people and am quite headstrong.  I think I just feel a little vunerable at the moment. It won't last, hopefully.

It won't last  ;) - we need to listen, absorb, decide what suits our particular problem 2-day …….. I remember when I told Mum that I was depressed (1988) she said 'You don't want to be depressed'  -  no Mum I don't but I am - but that was it!  I really took it to heart and am still angry  :-X

Femoston never worked for me, because I failed to absorb it, but I am a rarity, I've been on these boards about a year and a half and find that femoston seems to be one of the effective and successful forms of hrt. From what I've read over the months on here, it seems to work for the vast majority of women.

Thanks everyone, however I have still not seen any improvement , in either my physical or mental health. My night sweats have increased and I am waking up with horrendous anxiety, that does not go away until midday, then comes back later on in the evening. Before HRT i always felt better once home from work and relaxed but the last few days this has not. Bern the case. I am starting the prog part of the course tomorrow and not sure if this is going to make me feel worse, very miserable at at the moment, and beginning to think that the nurse was right and maybe I was clinically depressed after all and should have given the AD's a go first.

Hi

I would give the femoston a good chance to work.
HRT can take a few goes to work, and it can be disheartening, but it pays off in the end.
Femoston can take longer for some women to work.
I gave it about a year, and then emailed Dr Curry, after that I went onto patches which are working much better for me, so they may be an option for you further down the line.
A year was far too long, but I got disheartened as my normally nice doctor turns into pis*sed off mode when hormones are discussed.
I went to another two doctors, who were not keen to change my hrt, cos of migraines etc, but in the end I saw yet another doctor who gave me it no problems.

Don't be put off like me doing nothing for a year and suffering.
I still have the anxiety etc, but the professionals also suspect Adult ADHD and am waiting for an ADHD assessment. Depression and anxiety can be comorbid with ADHD.

Thanks , I am going to stick it out for at least 3 months, just hate feeling this way. ADHD that's interesting I did not realise adults could suffer with it.
