Severe anxiety and panic

I am on the same progesterone and indeed it can make you anxious. Firstly progesterone can raise your available estrogen, so if estrogen dominant it can make it worse. There is also a link between progesterone and cortisol (Stress hormone). I remember when I only used progesterone, no estrogen (Start of peri that was) omg after a while I was a mess, lots of anxiety and I had a lot of water retention etc. Its really a fine balance. I also can not take it orally as it get more side effects from it, 200 mg orally knock me out, like it literally feels like going under a GA! So I insert them vaginally at night. 100 mg should be enough especially if you take it 21 days. 200 mg if you only take them for 10 days a month. I cant take them too long as I get side effects after a few days already, and I vary my dose depending on how i feel, if my estrogen is high (I am on pellets) then I feel I can take 100 mg followed by a few days of 200 mg. If its on the drop, the pellet that is, 100 mg only. The progesterone is really to protect the uterus (get a period or stop it from getting too much lining), so you could by rights vary depending on how you feel 😃 Also 100 mcg Estrogen Patch is not that much, I know of people that wear 2 patches (myself included before the pellets) so the 100 mg definatley is suffice 😃
