Is there anyone on both a benzo and HRT? Thanks

I believe it's cross tolerant with utro, not sure about other progestins. Try a search if you don't get an answer here, there are posts on it.

Hi Sheila. That appears to be correct. The progesterone is. I posted about it before.
What is the most body identical estrogen and progesterone in the UK just now? Are there any which are non synthetic?

Yes, it is cross tolerant.
I am tapering off a benzo, I just made a cut today as it goes. That taper is going alright and as I have a plan to liquify my benzo when it comes to the small doses, I am not worried about WD as I will go canny.
To be honest, I have been worrying about tapering of a progesterone capsule, and what with the silly shortages and stories of suppliers rationing supplies, I am wondering about experimenting with coming off HRT altogether, I am nearly 47 and can't be doing with it anymore.
I wonder, would it be THAT dangerous if I just stopped taking the oestrogen and progesterone, like, would it be life threatening, or if I got the first whisper of WD could I just go back on again, I'd rather not.
I have been asking this question on here and benzobuddies and I cannot get a definitive answer. Yes, I hear, on benzobuddies that progesterone messes with people's benzo tapers, I am just sick of the hassle, I have other worries and I just want to lessen the load and if I could stop taking progesterone, I would, but I would have to be sure.
Then I could concentrate on solving real problems.
I am getting sick of the sight of pharmacies.
