Just a quick update now 4 months off hrt and still doing ok !
 Have bought a new house in Wales,worked like a trojan getting it cleaned and sorted 
Now sold our existing house and hope to move end of july !
Two weeks time go on holidays to the States and Canada.....
All in all seem to be coping well ,still on mirtazapine low dose dont plan to rock the boat with that for awhile just in case meno symptoms start creeping back but I live in hope !

Glad you are doing OK dazned - I presume the ADs are cushioning the re-emergence of meno symptoms from the reduction in oestrogen?

My - you have been busy! Glad you are making the most of life

Hi dazned

Glad your doing well, now I understand why my doc gave me Mitazapine instead of an increase in my oestrogen patches I'm two weeks in did/do you get any side effects from them?

The first two weeks I was totally zonked on them but each day little less so ,then was completely fine on them ,take it at night and usually sleep well something which I hadn't done for ages !
Hope you do as well as me tooo.

Thanks dazned

I take mine at night too 9pm at the moment and actually go to bed at 10. I initially started taking them at 10 but found it difficult to get up in the mornings, not that I have to go to work! But like to get up at about 8 but couldn't keep my eyes open.  I do get a full nights sleep  at last thank god I was waking up at 2am and stayed awake until the early hours normally til 5ish when birds are up! I've had some side effects I think feeling of balance being a bit off, but not dizzy and every morning my legs really ache.
I'm on 15mg is that what your on ?
I think my doc prescribed them for anxiety as I kept getting scared feelings for no reason, but I think it was hormones.

I don't understand why you were given an AD if it was lack of hormones that was causing your symptoms - it shouldn't be given instead of an increase in patches. The latter should surely be tried first?

Yes 15mg lowest dose. I had horrendous anxiety,palps,etc. but its all gone now thank goodness.

I will find out soon I guess, if it's down to hormones if I get the same feelings again as it will be the same time of month coming up soon where I guess my hormones must have dipped to low.

Well back from my 2 weeks adventure and coped with it all just fine ! Trains,boats and 3plane journeys 
Still no re emergency of any meno symptoms thank goodness. I suppose it could come back at anytime,but then again it might not     heres hoping for the latter.

That is so good to hear!  You're my idol I hope when I go off it will be so smoothly!
