Two weeks on her and I want to change

Ok I realize two weeks isn't a fair trial but I don't like the way I feel. Is it suppose to be worse before it gets better? I take .625 of premarin in the morning and 100 mg of progesterone at night. I really don't think I need progesterone I don't have my uterus but Dr gave it to me to help with sleep which it really doesn't. I did read that it is good to balance the estrogen. It seems now 2 weeks on this my sleep is still bad. I can't fall asleep so I still have to take a sleeping pill. I don't have hot flashes just depressed mood and lots of anxiety. I feel the anxiety is worse because I don't get good sleep. I thought of calling my Dr tomorrow to ask if he could check my hormone levels. I know he will say it is too soon. Really?? Why can't he. I don't understand why he didn't check them 2 weeks ago when he put me back on her. Please help. I feel something not right.

    Why are you using premarin instead of a bioidentical estrogen? It's so frustrating to hear that some doctors are still prescribing it!
