elleste duet 1mg questions
« on: July 07, 2015, 03:46:31 PM »

Hi  :) :)
wondered if anyone could help/reassure ? ive just had it confirmed by blood tests/symptoms i am perimenopausal, symptoms started a year ago..missed periods flushes mood swings.. about 6 wks ago i had what i can only describe as an anxiety attack - came out of nowhere - but because suffered in the past (about 5 years ago) completely floored me .. i was in a very unhappy and stressful marriage for 16 years - which was the root of my problems , i am now engaged to be married next year and very very happy :), so couldnt understand where this attack came from.. i was waiting for blood tests results at the time.  its completely knocked my confidence so much so i got in a right state and had to be signed off work , i was terrified my problems had come back.. in the meantime it was confirmed hormone levels not normal and i have been perscribed elleste duet 1mg..  and ive read the side effects :-/ 2 being depression and anxiety.. so this is now playing on my mind... i just want to be back to "normal "... how long do they take to work ?  thank you so much.. sorry long winded !

Hi and  :welcomemm:


I first started on estelle duet 1mg and was perfectly fine with them from day one. Try not to focus on the side effects you probably will be fine on them,1000s of women are !  ;)

It can take a few months unfortunately for any hrt to give maximum relief but you might be great sooner,mine took about 3 months. Please be patient,not easy I know,but your body needs to adjust to any new regime and bear in mind it might not sort every symptom out . Good luck hope you get settled soon.

Thank you so much - reassurance is what i always need :-)  yr right takes time and i just need to be patient and work through my anxiety which i have done in the past, eating sleeping, working and managing children so there is some positives !  if my anx reduces i can just about handle the flushes and mood swings.. im only on day 5...

Hi LW44

I do hope the HRT works for you - but if not there are plenty of others to try!
