Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I don't want to overload you with too many details, but in short I've got PCOS and experiencing various troubling symptoms. I know Menopause Matters is focused on the menopause (clue is in the name!), but some of the symptoms I've had sound similar, even though I'm 32 and had premature ovarian failure ruled out. I would get night sweats before and during each period, irregular periods, and I've been on antidepressants since I was 18 for anxiety, severe panic attacks and depression.
I started HRT back in June 2018 and was initially feeling better, but since around October it's not been as effective. I changed the dose in September (decreased the Utrogestan), then went back to my original regime at the end of October because I felt like I was going insane. I thought I'd turned a corner last month but I'm experiencing severe anxiety again to the point I can't work and it's been four months now. My antidepressants, which were working well for over a year, seem to be doing nothing now. Has anyone had any similar experiences? I'm on Estradot (100mcg continuous) and Utrogestan (100mg/night for 21 days out of a 28-day cycle). It's like I'm still recovering from when I originally adjusted the regime.
I feel really alone and not at all myself at the moment
