Hi there
I have been on the combined patches for nearly 2 years, they have worked well, I went to the doctor as I was feeling like I felt before starting HRT - not sleeping, period pains and no period, or heavy painful period, low mood. Doc changed my HRT to gel and tablets. I felt alot better on the gel and slept so well for the 2 weeks, I started the progesterone tablets and didnt sleep the first night, felt heady, dizzy and upset tummy, after the second night I had such a bad migraine, feeling dizzy and unable to hold conversation, legs hurt, infact whole body hurt. I decided after some research to not take the tablets again so I went back to using the patches as this was over the weekend and I could not consult my doctor. I have spoken to a nurse at the doctors today and explained all that went on, she then offered me anti depressants for my anxiety and hot flushes! I said I have neither of those and will not be taking antidepressants. Has anyone else had a similar experience? thank you xx
