I'm pretty assertive, came with my job. But when you're at the mercy of someone to diagnose and treat you, it's like you don't want to irritate them and in my case sat with legs akimbo, gyny crouched below with a scope up there, and fainting,  I couldn't say assertive never mind be it!

Has anybody used trazadone for sleep anxiety and depression? Did it work and did you feel more anxious on starting up?

Where do you find the newsletter???

Thanks folks. Will check out the newsletter 

The gynae is a meno specialist. Hand picked and paid for! I've been to the NHS meno clinic before - take the pill they said. Try them all. I have. No further forward.

Yes. I believe it is reversible.

I can see from my searches on prostrap or zoladex, some members have had this. Hopefully they'll be along. 

As above, in many countries you can buy it OTC so definitely worth asking. If not I'd take half dose rather than full dose every other day so you avoid fluctuations.

Have you checked there is no chemist out there that stocks any form of hrt?

I think there's an article on this in the weekly newsletter.

I declared taking HRT on my annual insurance.  It didn't affect the price.

Enjoy Amsterdam! It's a great place for a few days; walkable, lots to see and do and some lovely day trips (Delft and Haarlem (see the Corrie Ten Boom house which has a similar, but lesser know, story to Anne Frank's house).

I have no experience of chemical menopause but, if your issue is the huge spikes of estrogen that youve spoken about previously, then perhaps going down to zero and being able to add small controlled amounts back in may be worth a shot. Is it easily reversible if it doesn't work out?

 Agree with CLKD.
Definitely seek out a menopause specialist because you can’t guarantee the gynaecologist you see, will have the knowledge to answer your questions.

Are you looking at injections to shut down your ovaries? Or a hysterectomy? Either of these would probably stop the fluctuations. Then you may experience symptoms of no little to no oestrogen. This could happen immediately or take a few weeks.

Gather as much knowledge as you can, so you are able to make an informed decision. X
