Hi Im on my fourth tablet now and feel awful today, I decided to try hrt as having been getting awful anxiety and night sweats, palpatations, panic attacks etc etc, and the herbal stuff is not helping, it was either hrt or citophram? don't know if spelt right but anti depressant which helps anxiety and sweating/flushes apparently, I am very nervous about being on the hrt, and so far have had leg pain though gp says not a side effect as too soon to have side effects, but today I feel sick and shaky, anybody else tried this and how did you get on?

I felt weird and my brain was completely detached from the rest of me and wouldn't work properly. I got stuck in a pub car park when I could not get the car to work and had to get a taxi home (turned out to be the steering lock; I just need to turn the wheel a bit Confused.

Then I went out shopping (with son driving me) and met a friend I had not seen for ages and wanted to sound slightly with it, but failed and had to apologise for my slow conversation style and blame it on the medication - all very embarrassing. And I still hurt - which was the reason for taking it in the first place.

Then suddenly, I was ok :) Still hurt a bit, but I have not needed any pain killers, so that is something.
