Anyone else suffering severe mood swings whilst taking HRT tablet

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi bare with me as I'm new to this forum. Im 53 and been taking HRT for 2 months at first it was great hot sweats stopped, felt i had more energy, slept better, joints stopped hurting, all seemed good then instated the 3rd month packet and my mood went sky high I became very emotional I was just angry all the time and had no patience. not me st all. Doctor told me to have a month break.

All my symptoms have returned and my mood is lower although still emotional wreck and anxious about everything.

What I'm trying to say is, has anybody else experienced this?

Thankyou for reading

    Hi Nikki, I'm not on HRT but i have heard that it can take 3 months or so before your body adjusts to it, during which time you can experience some odd things. I know that if you're sensitive to progesterone it can cause mood problems. There's a separate forum for HRT on here, you might get more help there? Or download Balance, there's a good community on there with lots of people willing to give help and advice

    i have just started HRT (estrogen 0.3) on March 13 and my symptoms went away for about 14 days then i felt them coming back I upped my dosage (0.625) then they stated coming back again about a week laternow I have increased my dosage by double (1.25) I am hoping this makes a huge difference ( started this yesterday ) so I will let you know if that happens to me ok.
