Hello. I am 50 years old. I’ve been on HRT for nearly 10 years. I have Estro gel And the pessary version of the progesterone. I was taking 200 mg for seven days a month. They still made me very anxious and had bad reactions.
Since I’ve had a new hip, I’ve been off HRT for three months and my anxiety and hot and cold flushes have come back with a vengeance.  I am going to the doctors tomorrow. 
Would anybody recommend the marina coil with it being a lower dose? Would that be better for me? Or is there an anxiety tablet that would be good to go alongside the HRT I have had before? I think I would have to go back to a daily tablet as I am now well past my periods.  I just want to feel normal and not paranoid. And not have the hot flushes.  Thank you in advance any help

   If U put 'mirena coil' into the search box threads will pop up.  Make notes ;-)

As for an anti-anxiety medication some do take something along with HRT.  MayB think which symptom you would like to ease first, something to discuss with the Doctor   [on a Sat ?? ]

Some antidepressant medication ease hot flushes, 'venlafaxine' springs to mind.

Let us know how you get on.

Thankyou. I’ll have a look. Yes our doctors have Saturday service. In the midlands. At a reach out surgery.

I’ll see what he recommends. Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll look into it. Something that will do. Both the anxiety and the hot flushes would be great.  And I should try to pluck  up the courage to try the marina coil.
