Which HRT??

Hi everyone!

Hope you can help me?? Since the onset of perimenopause (about 8 years now) I have been so ill with the mental health side of of this 'age progression system!'.

I have really horrendous severe depression and anxiety. It is so dibilitating and acute that it affects every area of my life.

Went to my GP to discuss HRT. The problem now is that many of the original hrt tabs are patented by cheaper companies.

I need to take the nearest hrt that is more natural ♮ n eastrogen and Progesterone.. Had anybody took Femeston? I am aware that everyone is different, and one tab may not work for another, but I need a hrt tab that works for the mental health issues.

I do suffer (as stated) from severe anxiety and depression and found that some hrt side effects are depression/anxiety!!

Kind Regards,

OLLYBEAR XXXX

If your symptoms are that severe you need to be evaluated thoroughly by a very good PCP, psychiatrist and GYN people. Labs don’t work by specialty. I you want a natural product then you have to deal with naturall everything!!!
