    Did you have your ovaries removed (oophorectomy)? A total hysterectomy is removal of the uterus and cervix but not the ovaries. If your ovaries were removed HRT usually helps any menopausal symptoms and not make you moody. 2 days isn't really long enough anyway to have any effect.

      I would persevere if you can kim because it will take a week or two for the hormone to get into your bloodstream.

      Thats exactly what i will try and do... Thank you so much for the advice! I have no one to go to about this except my male doctor lol

      I hate so bad the feeling i used to get pre period times have been on effixor for over 10 years because of those moods... Was beginning to think i could come off it with how awsome I was feeling a few Weeks ago... Then there is the weight.. I put on about 20 pounds in the last 4 years when i started the hot and night sweats.. And i have gotten 5 off since my surgery... And in the last couple of weeks with this crazy mood crap coming back im stuck ...I do an hour of cardio everyday and use my fitbit ... ugh..... Yep im just a mental mess right now lol thanks for listening... 😩
