Hi

I been taking Tibolone for 3 months now the 1st month was getting my body used to the drug then the second month was brilliant no hot sweats my libido returned no dryness just generally feeling better then the 3rd month everything changed my night sweats returned I was not myself so I started chopping the tablet in half and taking half in a morning half in an afternoon then I thought I would try another half in the evening after 3 days I started to feel alother better like I did in the second month of taking tibolone what I was wondering am I doing harm to myself by taking that extra half of tablet which brings the dose to 3.7mg can anyone relate to this thank you

    Hi, are you both still taking more than the 2.5 dose? Just wondering if I should try more as it's stopped working.

      Hi loulou

      No I decided not to up the dose but went to see my Dr and he prescribed a small dose of citalopram 10mg so I take that along side tibolone at night and I have been not to bad some days are worse than others but I'm sleeping so that gives me a boost for the next day x

      yeah.. I have been taking 5 mg now for four months or so, but my hormonelevels were when recently measured still in the low-normal, so it would seem that for me 5mg is not too much..

      So have your symptoms got better on 5mg r not as I'm waiting for an appointment with my gynaecologyist to see if I been to up my dose or not but being on CITALOPRAM 10mg haS helped my symptoms but that is a mild depression tablet

      I wanted to up my dose but was worried as there is not a higher dose tablet it's just the 2.5mg and that's it if there had of been more strengths then I would of upped the dose but I will see what gynaecologyist says if anything cause at the moment I'm fine all day but on an evening I'm having a few mild sweats which is better than before and I'm sleeping about 7 hours now so that might be the best I'm going to be x

    Hi both. I don't really know what to do. Am starting to wonder if my body actually needs less! This week I added a menopause supplement that gently increases hormone levels and all it did was make me blow up with water retention and make me feel weird. I seem to be piling on weight and blowing up which is generally a sign of too much oestrogen but still getting joint pains. It's a minefield isn't it! 😉
