HRT not working
«

Hi all. I'm 53 & have been on evorel 75 patches + 100mg Utrogestan for about 9 months. I just don't feel much better. I feel very anxious, very hot & my libido is virtually non existent. Years ago I was unable to tolerate the contraceptive pill, it basically made me feel like a crazy woman. I am think of coming off HRT to see if I feel better. Can anyone relate? Could it be the progesterone?

You could try it sequentially for a couple of months and see if it makes a difference (200mg x 12 days). If it doesn't you could try increasing oestrogen. I'm not sure if utro can make you hot but it can cause anxiety though this can also be caused by too low or too high oestrogen. Did you build up to 75 or have you been on this all the time? Yoh may need to add testosterone for libido. Did the anxiety come with peri or is it a long standing issue?
