Hi everyone, I am new here and menopause kicked in with gusto a few months ago. My doc put me on HRT last Thursday and by Monday I felt like a new person, back to my old self almost straight away. Is that the norm? I have a few side effects, sore breasts, nausea and some headaches but my cloud has lifted and  I am not a crazy woman any more. I am able to cope with my life again , So I can put up with the small side effects...
I was wondering if that was anyone's else's experience?

So pleased for you lizmc!

I found that my horrible hot sweats disappeared within 24 hours of starting patches. Pills usually take longer to begin to work. Don't question it - just enjoy it!

Hi lizmc -

Patches worked really quickly for me too.
Flushes gone within 24 hours. I actually had more energy in about 6 hours.

Glad it's working for you

It worked for me within 24 hours,the hot flushes stopped overnight and the joint pains soon followed.  The period like pains also started straight away but nothing to bad, but I found that after a few months I started to feel anxious and had low moods. I stopped taking HRT last week to see how feel without it and so far not too bad but I'm not sleeping as well.
If things don't improve i will go back to my GP and try something eles.

Enjoy feeling normal again!!
