Hi warwick, sorry but HRT never helped my anxiety at all...I was on Estrogel/Utrogestan oral conti regime for 15 months, then tried Estradot 50 patches with the Utro, then tried Femseven conti for 2 weeks which made my skin angry red - so had to stop and it took 6 weeks for the 2 marks to go off my skin! I didn't get any of the symptoms you mention with Femseven conti though in the 2 weeks I tried them.
So went back to the Estradot 50 and Utro but then got bad breast shooting pain and discomfort after 3 months, so have decided to stop HRT altogether now. I found the only thing HRT has ever helped was the hot flushes. It didn't help my aches and pains in my joints, maybe I have just been one of the unlucky ones it doesn't suit? I have found at age 64 all the trial and error a pain! Needless to say hot flushes are returning in the morning and evenings as they were before
Have just lost my 93 year old Mum to Dementia and Covid - so heartbreaking -and Gp is trying me with Sertraline to help my anxiety which has been and still is horrible.
I hope your symptoms settle down, I too had high hopes for the Femseven conti , so disappointed.
