> Wow.Some brands of hormone replacement therapy made me truly crazy. Deeply deeply depressed and scared. I've read some reports where progesterone made women very depressed. Trouble is, you can't take just estrogen alone unless you've had a hysterectomy. And I haven't. So I'm stuck taking HRT that includes progesterone even though I feel it's not good for my mood. I got a new Rx from my gyno this time though- it's for a micronized progesterone, bioidentical, made from yams so maybe it will be better.
I'm waiting to start it until I finish the current pack of what I'm on now. Since it cost almost $50 I hate to through it away and also since I'm also about to try the buspar trial, I don't want to change too many things at once.
