Hi All
I have been on HRT for over 1 yr now. I started on patches but didn't get on with them so changed to Femeston 1/10 for quite some time and felt better then symptoms returned. I then changed to Femeston 2/10 and again I have been feeling low no motivation tired all the time etc etc anxiety and all the rest unfortunately. Saw Dr about going on conti but blood has indicated levels are high but not post menapausal so can't have them. I did ask for Dosulipen which are an old fashioned anti depressant that I have taken in the past but didn't want to give me those either. so I'm a little stuck as to what is best I've stayed on the Femeston2/10 and Dr wants to give me some other tablet or Prozac and I do not fair well with these things as I have properly freeked out when taking some meds so I tend to stick to what I know. Any suggestions would be most welcomed as going slightly mad 🙈 :-X :'(

If they're meno symptoms you're getting it would indicate you need a higher dose of oestrogen. I fould testosterone helped with low motivation.

Beany get yourself on a HRT pill with both.Take it at the same time every day.That way you know the dose and it can't fall off your body and the exact dose is being taken every day.Prozac will not help with hormones.Have you had your thyroid looked at?xxxx
