HRT Help! Progesterone making me groggy but also now anxious!
Can anyone help? About 10 weeks ago I started the estrodiol patch .025 mg, 100 mg oral progesterone and vaginal estrodiol. I felt better immediately - started sleeping 8 hours, joint pain and hot flashes abated, felt calm and more "myself." But as time went on, I started getting migraines again (usually the day after a new patch) and became a zombie with persistent grogginess and also feelings of not being able to get enough breath.
My doc told me to use the progesterone vaginally instead about 4 days ago. I'm still feeling drugged (maybe slightly less) but now also feeling anxious - like my brain is screaming that something is wrong.
Has anyone else experienced this? What worked? Feeling scared. (Adding that I'm about 2 years fully menopausal.)
