Are You On HRT? - Menopause Message Board

I am going through menopause and use to take prempro which controlled my night sweats and hot flashes...then the "report" came out and I stopped...since then have tried everything from herbs, soy, and recently red clover. Nothing is helping and my sweats, flashes, anxiety, heart palpations, and so on and so on are out of control. I think I'm going to go back on prempro (I take the lowest dosage 0.3-1.5). Is anyone else needing to go back on HRT?

Hi
I am on HRT. I am in menopause due to a hyst 10 months ago at the age of 39. I am now 40 years old.
I am on a very low dose of Estroderm 0.05 mg patch that I change 2x a week. It does help, but there are still times I do suffer. My OB wants me to try it 3x a week, but I am trying not too...then again spring is comming and it is getting more difficult for me.
I am also on Xanax 0.25 mg 3x a day when needed. This helps for the anxiety and the hart palps. I started this problem about 5 months after my surgery. I was also told it could help for the hot flashes and night sweats. You should talk to your doc about the Xanax. I like it. I am gonna try taking it more myself to see if it helps for the night sweats and hot flashes.

GOOD LUCK
