Only been on HRT 4 weeks don’t like it ..... do I need to wean off or go cold turkey ?

Posted , 10 users are following.

Just ripped my patch off due to terrible awful dark thoughts wont say the ‘ S ‘ word but when it came to that .... it’s dangerous . 

Wondering if only been on it 4 weeks do I need to taper off? 

It helped with my panic and anxiety but I just didn’t feel myself . It made me wake up super early and the low mood was just too much . Spoke to my dr and said I could cut the patch in half but unsure .

    I just don't like not knowing what's happening with my period, did you get pmt symptoms before your 2 periods.

      Hope all is going well with you..

      I dont know if you read a post i did on Pregnenolone.

      Well I guess i have to eat my words about thinking that it helped me turn a corner, it must have been a coincidence because im feeling horrible again.

      Be patient and you will begin to feel a bit more balanced. I think though that nothing is perfect as my moods and mindset changes day to day, hour to hour. 

      My two kids were gone for a week to see their dad and i was lost basically without having them here..i didnt know what to do with myself (except i worked a lot more)

      so i understand fully now that isolation is horrible when we are going through this. I felt so alone and misunderstood..

      you have the forum and so do i and all of the women out there.

      Thanks Mauiblue ! 

      Yes I normally don’t mind being alone .... but with this ‘thing ‘ feel like I’m doing a prison sentence ! Even in company still felt spacey and ‘alone ‘ . 

      On the full patch I felt like I was on drugs ... it was weird . Been on the half patch now 3 days and fingers crossed feeling better . It’s all a bloody rollercoaster ride .,

      How your kids are back to keep you company ... at least you have them and I have my cute whiney cat !
