Waking in night with anxiety !
« on: October 21, 2017, 11:39:55 AM »

Hello girls
I'm looking for answers again
I started on 2 pumps oestrogel 2 nights ago and since starting  I have been woken during the night with awful anxiety. I did manage to self soothe myself saying its only my hormones and I'm ok and then dozed off and on till morning.
Is this something that will settle over time do you think or does it mean I need a higher or lower dose ?
Has anyone else had this before but are ok now??

Hi Nasil41,

I started Oestrogel three weeks ago and sleep through the night OK. I was told to use one pump a day for the first two weeks, then increase to two. I apply it in the morning. Could two pumps to start with be too much if you are not used to it? Try applying in the morning and see if that makes a difference.

Hope this will work for you. JP x

Thank you joaniepat
I was thinking about mornings for applying but wasn't sure if you could. I think I may apply 1 tonight then 1 tomorrow morning then do 2 every morning after that.
How are you finding it ?

I would go back to 1 pump and see if anxiety eases!  What's the rush?

Cortisol - it's the hormone that wakes us apparently - it is likely to be affected by the product?

I am fine on it thanks, no adverse reactions. A little early morning anxiety but I've had that for ages! Doesn't seem to last as long now. Skin better. Hoping it will help my VA, but early days yet.

I'm the same - once I've decided to start the process to feel better, I want to feel better yesterday  >:(

That's good joaniepat I hope it helps, I don't have that yet but I'm sure I will. I've woken up with anxiety for over 2 years now....its exhausting
Yes CLKD I hate having to wait for things but I should know by now this isn't a quick fix unfortunately
