Hello everyone I am a newbie to the group. I am 53 and 2yrs ago was prescribed climagest 1mg, to cope with Peri menopause symptoms. The climagest was changed to 2mg last year. As symptoms worsened. Recently I began to have breakthrough symptoms and went back to my GP. I can't have any stronger HRT and she offered me anti-depressants to go with it. I refused this and she consulted colleagues and I have been prescribed Elleste Duet Conti Tablets which are apparently what I should now be on for my age (!). I realise I have to give them time to work but I am worried I may struggle with them as I seem to be having side effects eg. bad skin, indigestion, restless nights. I would be interested to know how other people cope with them. I also have a very large fibroid which my GP is aware of. Thanks in advance!
