Hi has anyone found relief with their anxiety and depression using HRT. I’m feeling so desperate with many symptoms but these two are taking me over and a black cloud is following me everywhere. I’m on sertraline 100mg daily been on it a long time upping and downing the dosage. I was on 200mg last year managed to get it down to 50mg by last Christmas but then in may this year had to up it again gradually to the 100mg which is where I’m at now. A few years ago I did try patches but they made me feel suicidal so I’m in a real quandary what to do and where to turn. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
