I have just started on HRT and I am waiting for improvement in symptoms to kick in. Unfortunately HRT has coincided with a new job, so with such a lot of new stuff to concentrate on, I am having a lot of anxiety (anxiety that doesn't seem to justify the cause).
Is this the menopause or am I just going crazy. Sleep has almost abandoned me, which doesn't help. Anyone know if 5HTP would help solve anxiety and sleep issues?
Also on Evorel 50 patches and I am noticing that my prolapse womb and bladder are feeling worse, especially at the end of each day. I almost feel that they are so expanded, they could drop out. Not a nice feeling at all. Any ideas?

It takes a while to kick in and address all the symptoms. Lack of sleep will not help your anxiety especially when you are coping with a new job so perhaps a herbal supplement might help.
Have you had a hysterectomy, as evorel 50 is oestrogen only I think. The reason I ask is if you have a prolapse ? :-\
If you can give us a few more details.....age etc then maybe we can help a bit more.

I think Marshall is on Evorel conti so the patches should be conti not 50 :-\
I think this symptom will settle down Marshall - it's normal for the womb to feel slightly heavier as the lining begins to build up due to the oestrogen and this will be more pronounced if you have a prolapse (I have prolapsed womb). I found that HRT kept my prolapse very manageable but now that I am off HRT then I have made the decision to have a hysterectomy as it has become more difficult.
