Hi ladies
I started the Evorel 50 patch and 100mg of Utrogestan vaginally a week ago and am feeling quite nauseous in the morning and very tired. I am 55 and haven't had a period for 2.5 years.
Since perimenopause started 10 years ago I have had bad anxiety on and off over the years, along with nightsweats, hot flushes and feeling down.
As some of you may know, I am also on 10mg of Prozac for the anxiety.
I just wanted to ask if starting the HRT would cause me to feel nauseous, tired and anxious after a week please? I am currently signed off work and feel like I'm going mad so would appreciate some advice. I don't like being on my own at the moment for some reason, which is odd as I used to love my own company. Can anyone else relate to this.
Thanks.

HORMONES! I felt sick on one of the contraceptive Pills. I also felt queasy B4 periods began. Does it mention nausea in the leaflet in the box?

I get very tired on utro but I didn't on everel conti patches. I'd suggest using a sequi regime (12 days of 200mg utro per cycle). That way you'll know if it's the utro that's causing the problem.
My anxiety took 3 months to go.

Eat Girl Eat! Hormones can burn up energy rapidly which can raise anxiety levels and the body gets hungry ....... little and often ;-)
