Yes, I've taken it for a while now. I've recently moved back to 1mg. I was on Prempak C, but it was withdrawn. (For some reason I preferred the original, but cannot easily explain why) as with all new meds, you may need to allow some time to get used to them.

I'm sorry to report that the private chat has turned out to be a request to purchase HRT for the user which is deeply unethical from my point of view. I am more than happy to assist others by sharing my experiences (which are useful to some as I realise) but I am not happy to be asked to break the law or supply a medicine that has to be prescribed in this country. There are known risks attached to HRT and I have to have regular check ups whilst taking the drug. No drug is risk free and the original question put to the forum now seems to have been a ruse to persuade someone to obtain the drug for sale rather than seeking reassurance about its safety.
