has anyone ever had their HRT changed to a different Brand? My HRT brand has been discontinued so chemist gave me a different  one and I haven't been well since. They say it has all the same ingredients.

    I have found them to have different ingredients. What have you been given? I had hugely horrible effects when I was given several different hrt over a few months. I have now been put back on my original hrt but it is still taing time to settle down . It's only in the last couple of weeks that I have had a few hours sleep, for instance, although still wakening up after 4/5 hours in panic. The way that the ingredients are listed makes it difficult to make direct comparisons. In what way have you been unwell?
