Hi I'm a newbie and was just wondering if anyone could recommend an alternative Supplements for HRT as I've taken myself of HRT patches.

Which symptom would you like to ease first?
Which HRT were U prescribed and why did U stop, U may have said elsewhere :-\
Many alternatives are not tested as prescribed medications have been. Some help for a while but benefits may be lost when our hormones become less.
Some should not be taken for longer than 3 months at a time and certainly not with prescribed medication.
VitD levels are important, have U had those as well as thyroid function blood tests recently?

Hi hot flushes are my main priority and also I can cry at the opening of a matchbox these days.

:bighug: I would sob the night B4 a bleed began, even when a period wasn't due.
MayB have a lookC at the Holland and Barrett website for starters ........ 'black cohash' springs to mind. But don't rely on meno-brain here ::). There are anti-depressants that relief hot flushes too.
