I am scheduled for hyster on the 20th of this month. What are the best natural hormone replacement to take?
Look into the bio-identicals (plant based) for HRT. I purchased Amberen. I had only read glowing reports and my experiences were horrible with the product. I did not sleep at all, my anxiety level rose and only when I stopped the product did I get any relief from these increased reactions. I had chosen the free trial but when I started to have problems the company suggested that I double my dosage and it was pure hell. Because I doubled my dosage, I no longer qualified for the free trial and now had to pay for a product that not only did not work for me but actually made my symptoms worse. I have since found out that I am estrogen dominant and that perhaps is the problem. I am currently on bio-identicals and all of my menopause symptoms are gone.
Just put me back on premrin along with lexapro. Seems to be working but that is what I was on before and it caused the endometr. to grow and I am also afraid of long term effects of HRT.
Try Amberen.com It's works with the hypothalamus in regulating the body. I have tried all the ones the Dr's. recommended and gained weight and have had terrible hot flashes.
The dry mouth could be from the Lexapro. The other symptoms are probably hormone related.
What kind of HRT were you on? Have you tried Bio Identical hormones? You may want to talk to your Dr about this. Remar
