And can't fear be a controller  >:(.  I had a phobia from age 3  :-\. 24/7.  No respite.

When I want a cure I want it yesterday .  HRT don't kick in suddenly as the body has to 'uptake' the medication first.

Sorry you’re struggling so much Nas. Maybe you could up the dose of amitriptaline ? It will help the anxiety.

Good luck with the drs call.

Well, day one of no HRT andI have felt fine today!
I can hold a conversation, energy, not anxious.. just normal.

I guess it won't last and the symptoms will be back soon enough. Truth is, I don't want HRT. I hate it.

Localised ostrogen for the lower portions - fine.

Systemic HRT for the rest of me..no thanks (unless I have to)

Oh dear, well we shall see what the next few months brings.

I am requesting an increase in the amitriptyline for anxiety and sleep (my two main symptoms).
Mirtazapine is on stand by if things get bad.

For now, a day at a time :-)
