Title: Should I stop the femoston or continue - private appt booked?
Post by: Juliet on July 30, 2018, 02:39:43 PM

Hi Lovely ladies who have helped me before. I have been taking femoston 2/10 for four months and although physical symptoms have massively improved the anxiety is in overdrive. Just completed the combined tablet and on a period, but can't cope with this constant feeling of dread. It wakes me early and doesn't tend to dissipate until the evening. Everything becomes tainted by it and I am struggling to function.

I have made an appt with Dr Shaw in Cambridge for 22nd August and want to know if I should stop the HRT for now and wait for the appt, or continue with it until I see her.


Thanks xxx

You could ring the clinic and ask.  After all, that's where you are going soon.

I am on Femoston too without any side effects, a bit depressed at first but I don't know if it is due to the shock after my diagnosis or caused by hrt. I think that maybe you can continue and see how it goes. Maybe your anxiety will decrease with time.

thanks for thoughts. I have emailed the clinic but not heard back. I am continuing with taking the tablets as I do think I am better generally than before I started. physical symptoms completely gone. Just wish this anxiety would go away  :-\
