Hi Mariab
Yes I felt that too which is why I got mine removed quite quickly.  I did feel a bit better once I had it removed but not sure if that was just psychological or if removing the hormone helped, I wouldn't say it helped dramatically but I was glad to get the hormones out ! I am thinking if I ever want to try HRT again I will just try the progesterone pill instead.  It's tricky isn't it. I still have residual anxiety (nothing like it was before I started Citalopram) but I'm hoping that settles in time or maybe I just have to live with it.

Ok so,
I have had to start my gel again..but only half a pump to start with.....after a few days of re starting my irritability lifted...I am still very tired and having dizzy spells and I became hotter than ever...so I feel I really do need the extra eastrogen...
So atleast that question has been put to rest... :)

Hello ladies.

I am also taking a break from HRT but I am a long way post meno so no fluctuations to deal with.

I am almost two months without gel and so far I feel okay.

 My main issues are the emotional ones and my moods are still changeable but possibly not too bad. I am having a few mild flushes and night sweats ( the hot weather isn't helping) and my VA symptoms are more noticeable especially at certain times of the day. On the whole I am doing okay so I am not tempted to resume HRT at the moment.

I will update the forum as I go but there haven't been any dramas yet lol.

Take care ladies.
