Hi - looking for any useful advice. I'm 50, last period 28/10/19, took few months of Femseven sequi patches last year & was doing well until unable to get patches locally due supply issues so was prescribed elleste duet 1mg tablets. I still haven't convinced myself to start the tablets due to worry of increased stroke risk & have been off HRT for about 7 months. I've been diagnosed with high blood pressure & take lisinopril 10mg. I'm currently struggling badly with mood/anxiety/insomnia/brain switch off to the extent it's impacting on my marriage. Should I just start the tablets? I've no idea why I'm asking complete strangers but I have more confidence in the knowledge shown on this forum than my experience of having visited GPs/consultant. Thanks.
