Hello everyone - me again.
Firstly just want to apologise if i seem repetitive - I'm in a anxious state.
So background - 27th February i decided to up my patch to 75mg from 65mg (cut down with scissors)
29th Feb - ended up in A&E with really bad floor moving, Eye floaters more present, eye flash head lifting etc - now I know this is too high Oestrogen as i have tried this before -but not to get these sorts of reactions. When i have upped to the full 75 in the past all i got was head lifting - so thought i wont try this again - but stupidly did!
Since the 29th Feb i first suffered head lifting/room spinning/nausea for weeks, then at 6 week mark the heady symptoms went. I am now on week 10 (tomorrow) of me being back on my 65mg.
BUT - I am having teary spells (yesterday( and feeling it now at work - but holding it back. Very jittery anxiety feel - Waking up with that heart racing a bit - anxious feel upon waking (which i never had previously before i upped)
So the heady symptoms stopped, now its gone to sleeping - first it was insomnia, now im sleeping soundly - infact i think im sleeping too deeply with vivid dreams - these dreams started back on the come down from the 75mg.
Yesterday i went to leave my flat for a jog, but tears came out of nowhere! Right on the street! I havent had this since all this Peri started in 2021.
This morning i got up, but then felt very moody. very moody feeling in car, then queing up to get into work - i felt so low and tearrful, physical jittrery anxirty.
Just to note i take Yasmin combined pill (which has been great) and the 65mg patch - i take this extra s i did get small night sweats around a year ago.
I went up from 50mg, then settled on 62.5mg - but on this i started with the night sweats - so from January this year have been on 65mg - no jitters/bad mood - was going out to pubs etc - no anxiety.
I should never have upped my patch in feb, i know this as its caused me so much upset that i cant get on with my life at the moment. Only reason i upped was because i was having a pill break but took extra progesterone (provera) 5 days before my bleed - but after the bleed i get terrible bad moods - so i though by upping my oestrogen i would be doing some good - NOPE!!
So - just to ask - Do you peeps think my 65mg is too low? I hope not because going up seems so daunting! And my mood was bob on/no anxiety before i messed around with the dose - upping too high too fast.
So on this at present - I am having no night sweats, no sore boobs, sleeping well.
But im getting - vivid dreams, anxiety, moodiness - a friend that i made on here keeps telling me your 65mg is still settling and because you are sleeping too heavy - its causing anxiety? - and for me to wait it out til 3 month mark (29th May) after all the room spinning feelings did go after 6 weeks.
Am i being impatient? What do you ladies think?
Thank you so much really hope you can help/advise me xxxx
