HI there just wondering, is 58 to old for HRT, as I have been suffering for years, now on to antidepressants, mitazapine plus escitalopram, suffering with slight treamberling, needing wee all the time, anxiety, tablets arn,t helping yet thanks

Have you been offered Estriol cream I have just started it because I have terrible burning and pain too with no UTI.  I am told it is a very weak oestrogen cream I wouldn't say it is helping dramatically will persevere for another week of every day then three times a week for two weeks then once a week. This feeling of needing to wee all the time and the pain with it burning and stinging is driving me mad. I am older than you and I would never have agreed too oestregen  cream but now will try it because doctor says it doesn't get into blood stream.

Hi Mars777

Hi Susan,

I’m 57 and been on HRT for 5 years.  Most if my symptoms were nausea

Headache and extremely debilitating bloat.  Since HRT I’m feeling so good. I initially began HRT cause of hot flashes. Then began the other symptoms my menapause doc said weren’t symptoms of menap.  But we decided to up the estrogen and try. And it worked.  I’ve been on antidepressants way before menopause but maybe HRT can help you. I think it’s amazing. Good luck to you and be well!

Hi Susan and Sharon,

I’m on estrogen and progesterone cream bioidenticals. 2 pumps I rub on my belly every night. I’ve been taking antidepressants for the past 11 years and still going with HRT.  I feel so great. I also take Trazadon, another type of antidepressant, to help me stay asleep. It is used for insomnia alone. It’s wonderful. It’s not s sleeping pill. Helps relax you enough to stay asleep.  Hope this info helps!

I can't take progesterone, as I have had a hystercamoy, that's what doctor has told me anyway,
