I didn't have any anxiety until the beginning of this year. I had a few months where I was completely sleep deprived due to pain/unrelated problems with my ears (balance/diziness). That has all been resolved but I have been left with anxiety, hot flushes and dryness hence the GP prescribing HRT. I haven't had a period for about 15 years due to taking Desogestrel but the anxiety does seem to occur at the same time each month. When i'm on the Gepretix i'm calm, happy and sleep well its' the days i'm not on it that seem to be a problem. I am taking Diazepam, Mirtazipine and Propanalol as well as the HRT but the only way I can sleep when not taking the Gepretix is with Dizaepam. I just wondered if there were tweaks that could be made to the HRT to help as I seem to be on a low dose? Or could taking the Gepretix every day at the lower does work?. I have a GP appointment to discuss and he's been very good but just want to be able to sleep at night without Diazepam!
