Luckily I don't require HRT other than 'ovestin'.

Which symptom would you like to ease?  Why did you begin HRT?  It mayB that your symptoms have settled, weaning off your regime may be the way to go.

Anxiety can be treated - as a sufferer I know how awful it can be.

Ovestin will treat vaginal atrophy but will not help other symptoms. I am sorry to hear you are having such a bad reaction to HRT. It can be really hard to find one that does not give unwanted side effects.

I'm just on vagirux but then I don't need many other symptoms treated

Some women need systemic HRT in addition to vaginal oestrogen to control vaginal atrophy symptoms ie local oestrogen alone is sometimes not sufficient.
