Hi Annies
You have posted the same thing in two different sections so perhaps ask for the other to be deleted - or hopefully it will drop off the radar!
Firstly - you mention you have been on Citalopram long term - so I presume this is for problems you have experienced that are nothing to do with hormones or the menopause and you have unfortunately had these issues for some years?
In terms of menopausal symptoms - HRT is recommended by the medical profession as the first line of treatment and depending on how often your periods were before starting HRT it is important for your future health (cardio-vascular and bone) to take it at medium dose at least until the average age of menopause of 51/52. Ideally if your periods are few and far between and you are near to menopause, you should be on a 50 mcg patch as this dose is licensed for protection against osteoporosis. (By the way FSH levels vary enormously throughout peri-menopause and can go into the post-menopausal range during peri-menopause).
It is not necessary to test either oestrogen or progesterone levels for healthy women who still have their uterus - and the guidelines are to diagnose menopause on the basis of cycle changes and symptoms alone over the age of 45. Progesterone is only produced in large quantities after ovulation - but you are taking progesterone anyway so no need to worry about oestrogen dominance, as either your own or the added progesterone will act to prevent the oestrogen lining from building up and getting too thick.
Personally I would not be taking the Tostran while halving the oestrogen dose - you need to get your oestrogen levels up and Tostran is actually much stronger than the other testosterone products so less easy to control the dose. Could it be the T that made you feel like that? However if your specialist ( menopasue?) clinic advised this then they must know what they are doing.
Anyway I do hope the side effects wear off and hopefully you will feel the benefit of the added oestrogen very soon.
