Hi all,

I’m been on Hrt about 18 months now but my anxiety is still extremely high, as it’s relentles. I’ve tried anti depressants flouxetine and Mirtazipine that haven’t really helped. I’m thinking of trying sertraline next, and was wondering if it has helped anyone with menapausal anxiety please. I’m 49.

Hi

I was given this about four months ago 50mcg.

At present I only take 12.5mcg as wanted to introduce it slowly, I’m now on 25mcg (I cut them with a craft knife).

It has helped me, as no matter how much I tweaked my HRT I could not seem to get it right.

I now feel I have found the balance.

Good luck

Hi, thank you very much for your reply as I’ve got a doctors appointment tomorrow morning and was wondering if I should mention this. I’ve really been struggling this week with my anxiety and you’ve helped me to decide to take the plunge and ask for it.

Many Thanks.
