My feeling of overwhelm was my reason for taking HRT, I felt completely out of control with anxiety and rage and didnt know wbat on earth was happening to me so I had 18 months of 3 different HRT regimes, all of which included having very heavy regular periods. So although the anxiety was quite successfully dealt with I felt really depressed about suddenly having periods again. I eventually spoke to a GP who said I shouldn't have been on the sequential HRT at all so I'm now taking 1mg estrogen gel sachets and Utrogestan tablets and I feel much more settled. I feel it would be fantastic to have a well woman clinic in surgeries that you could just pop in with your general menopause questions!

My experience with HRT has been positive, in that it has improved my overall wellbeing from where I started. However there has been side effects, such as weight gain, and increased headaches that I can't seem to do anything about. It did decrease my night sweats for about a year but they seem to be slowly creeping back, and it hasn't addressed my anxiety.
