My doctor prescribed Estradiol (Climen) for to increas energy level and for depression reduction, but it has so many precisions. Not sure that I have to start it. Please share your experience. Would be the great help. Thank you.

I don’t have any experience with this and I’m in no position to give medical advice. However, aside from the fact this drug has a clear contraindication with hypothyroidism, the list of side effects is as long as your arm. Don’t think I’d touch it with a barge pole. Couldn’t your doctor give you something safer if he has to give you anything at all? If you aren’t depressed already I certainly would be if I was experiencing those side effects! Isn’t it more likely you are under-medicated for your hypothyroidism and that is causing lack of energy and making you depressed? I reiterate, I can’t give medical advice and your doctor may be doing the right thing, but I wouldn’t swallow that stuff personally. The less medications the better in my view. It’s a pest enough taking Levothyroxine.
