I think I'm allergic to Livial. Feel deadfall after 18 days. How long before it is out of my system?

I am allergic to most antibiotics and had a serious problem with Remifemin. So GP started me on Livial. Massive aches and pains, itchy and dizzy today. Am going to stop taking it but am wondering how long it will take to get it out of my system as I feel so unwell. I wish I hadn't started it. It has made all of my menopausal problems worse.

    Hi Annette

    Are you sure its not just withdrawal from your previous hrt? I felt awful first week on Tibolone but it was withdrawal from my Femoston. Now feel great. Hope you managed to sort things out.

      Hi Jane

      Thanks for getting back to me. I wasn't on any other HRT. I am allergic to many things including most antibiotics. I had also had liver failure from Remifemin. I've felt largely better since stopping Livial but of course no improvement in the symptoms for which I had taken it. My doctor doesn't believe that I am allergic but I'm not willing to risk it. Also I am 5 years past menopause and I think starting HRT can be less effective then. Thanks again and I'm glad it is working for you.
