Hi Ladybt28
Thanks for your reply. I am really hoping that the melatonin works for me, as I slept until 3am last night and had to take more dormeasan. I think some of it is down to what and when I eat each night too. Trying to keep a diary. The melatonin arrives today and it's 3mg, a doctor friend suggested starting on 5mg but I didn't want to start off too high too soon. 1mg is low...but that's great if that is all you need.
I have been on the patches for 10 weeks now...half a patch, but every time I try to increase the dose my symptoms get worse. But because I'm still not sleeping, am anxious & still having hot flushes and period pains, I'm not sure that the patches are the best. So just waiting for another 2 weeks for the 3 month mark & then may need to go onto tablets. What hrt is working for you if you don't mind me asking? Presuming you're on hrt.
9 months is a long time.....what did you take for anxiety, presuming you suffered with it.... So pleased that you have found things that are working for you. It is hard to stay positive, but I totally agree we need lots of positive stories, so that everyone can see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. xx
