Can anyone help me
I've gone too high on oestrgen.....very panicky very anxious
Has anyone had this? How long for level to come down?
Are they the symptoms of too high
My patch gone up to 90 from wed
-
I also took 2 yasmin pills today by accident
-
Morning. U need to contact your health provider ......... it's Sat so if you can't get to a GP then ask at your local pharmacy.
How can any1 take pills by accident .......... even more important to speak to a pharmacist.
-
Didn't you also start on sertraline too? How is that going? That can cause increased anxiety at the start which can take weeks to subside.
How come you increased up to 90? Were you having symptoms of low estrogen?
-
Hi yes night sweats
I will admit too I added 2 gels this morning.....stupid
You ladies think it's this?
Sorry I was in desperation
-
I'm only on 25mg sertraline .....could it be this?
-
Hope someone can help me x

It's too much estrogen. You must stop changing the dose like this. I think you'll just have to wait it out now, but for sure, going too high on estrogen can make you feel anxious amd panicky. As CLKD says you need to tell a professional, like a pharmacist, how much you've taken and get their view.

How long will it take to come down? Partner is a bit worried
And you deffo think it's this?
-
What should I do?
Reduce patch???
-
Does the gel take 24 hours to go?
That's what I read....sorry ladies I'm just in a panic
-
You need to speak to a professional and tell them exactly what you have taken today and ask for advice, nobody on here can answer that. It sounds like you've taken too much estrogen which, while not life threatening, may take a week or two to come down. Nobody can tell you what to do though, you need professional advice.

Vicky81 The ladies here have been down this road before with you, two years ago, and all I have seen them doing is knock their heads against a brick wall.
No matter what advice they give you, you take no notice of it but continue to start more threads and in doing so, other threads get knocked further down and forgotten about.
Get the professional help you badly require, the ladies here really can't or shouldn't advise you further, you need specialist help.

Agree with Ayesha.
You need professional help now. You don’t listen to a word anyone suggests and continue to make sudden changes to an already chaotic regime.

Agree with Ayesha and Nas. Get professional help, we can share experiences but aren't qualified - other than what we use to ease symptoms - if you need help in desperation then ring the Samaritans or go to a pharmacist.
-
I know I'm sorry.
Just my fault..I shouldn't have messed .
Thank you all x
-
I know I've done wrong ...I just hope you will all still support me x

I agree also. Speak to someone about what you have taken. You really need to stop messing around with the dose and just stick with one for the 3 months but you don’t seem to be able to do so. Until you do this you’ll continue to have all these issues unfortunately. Your body just can’t keep up with all the swapping and changing. Start with the pharmacist seeing as it’s Saturday. Failing that try 111 or out of hours GP or walk in centre if you have one

Hello Vicky81.
I completely understand where you are coming from. I know what it's like to despair when you are just trying to feel better.
I am sure that the ladies of this forum will continue to support you, they have big hearts!
If you are concerned about the amount of oestrogen that you have taken then perhaps call 111 and a doctor may be assigned to advise you over the phone. I am not medically trained but I have had consistently high oestrogen levels in the past and I didn't come to any harm.
Wishing you well and I hope you can find some peace soon.
Take care.
K.

Thanks so much....I've got terrible anxiety....
Pharmacist called me said its too much oestrgen.
Just hoping it's not the sertraline as I only on 25mg .....what you think??
I really love your support

Hello again Vicky81
I think that the pharmacist is right and that you are suffering from too much oestrogen.
Hormones are powerful chemicals that can impact us in many ways so it is not surprising that you feel overwhelmed.
If I were you I would stick with the Sertraline and let the flood of oestrogen leave your body.
After that speak to your GP and explain that you experimented because you are desperate to feel better. Hopefully you can both agree a plan that will help you going forward.
Wishing you well and take care.

Thank you Kathleen that's so kind

Why on earth are you taking Yasmin with patches and gel ?
No wonder you feel ill you can’t take Yasmin with hrt , if you need birth control it should be the progesterone only pill not the combined pill with hrt.
I can’t see any professional GP or MS prescribing such a combination of hormones, if they have you really need to question why.
