I'm due to see dr in about 3 weeks time (you know what it's like getting an appointment with a particular dr!)
My very brief history is that I have suffered with depression and anxiety for over 20 years. When I first went on hrt 6 years ago it took about 12 months to get it right (and a few wobbly moments). Got settled, then in July 2018, dr told me to reduce oestrogen patches to 75. After about 4 weeks anxiety was getting worse, I persisted but it got even worse with low mood, so I decided to go back up to 100. Things improved after about 3 weeks. Went back to dr who told me to come down gradually. Decided to stay with 100 patches until I felt more stable, so did a gradual decrease starting in about end of October (cutting strips off patches, hoping my body wouldn't notice!) But it did and in January had a major problem (depression, anxiety, insomnia) and ended up in A&E and on diazepam and sleeping tablets. I took it on myself to up the dose back to 100, that was 3 weeks ago. Still not in a great place!
