Title: Sleepy-HRT
Post by: Debbiemc on June 26, 2016, 03:09:55 PM

Hi, I've been taking Elleste combi 1mg for a week. I'm usually an early riser, but since taking it I've had a real struggle to get up, and when I do, I feel so sleepy. Anyone else get this?

 :welcomemm: ………… how did you feel prior to starting this?  Has your GP checked your iron levels and done a thyroid function test?

Iron not recently checked, but am always on the low side. Usually tired at end of day, unusual first thing. It's like a haze.

Hi  :welcomemm:

Its only been one week you say so very very early days yet for your body to settle down  ;)
Give it at least a couple of months hopefully things will settle . Let us know how you progress.
