First post: need urgent advice please:
I’m on diazepam 2.5mg per day, been taking 5 weeks, want to try utrogestan 100 orally. Have heard horror stories about cross tolerance of benzodiazepines and progesterone.
Am I safe to start utrogestan or should I taper off the diazepam first and wait a bit before starting utrogestan (if so how long?).
Am super sensitive to oestrogen (makes me wired and triggers insomnia), v low dose 1/8th pessary vaginal cyclogest seemed to make me depressed and couldn’t sleep, so unsure if 100 oral utrogestan would be better but I’ve got to try something as terrible insomnia and depression and been off sick from work 6 months. Only alternative offered is low dose seroquel as SSRIS interfere with my PoTs,
Hope you can help.
