I’d been on hrt since I was 52due to severe anxiety and insomnia no symptoms till my periods stopped having only 3 periods in that year . I was on tablets for anxiety thought I would go mad . It took about 6 months to totally get off every pill but hrt . Since then I was well ,I came off the hrt over about 4 years cutting down so gradual has I did not want the dreadful symptoms back . I’m now 61 the last tablet I took was in April . From 3 weeks ago I couldn’t sleep due to severe palpitations which has started off severe anxiety and dreadful sweating and panic which in all the years I’ve never had with anxiety in fact I hardly ever sweated .Has any ladies experienced this after coming off hrt so slowly as I did . I’ve had to go on tablets again due to the anxiety I’ve also gone back on my hrt at my age because I can’t cope with these symptoms I’ve got . I’ve had 3 ECG bloods all normal blood pressure perfect
