I had a nightmare experience with brt that my dr said she had never seen. She prescribed some DIM which gave me headaches then herbal supplements to calm anxiety which was mild when i started. After 8-10 wks on progesterone pills and estrogen cream, the anxiety was so severe that i constantly felt like a caged animal yet when i tried to stand and walk i felt like i was going to fall. I had extraordinary irritability and zero patience because i just felt so terrified of the restlessness and muscle tension taking me over. The dr tried to tweak them but it got worse and worse. Needed to take xanax to counteract so i could work while tapering off. Six days after getting off, anxiety was reduced by 75%. Though i know some women who have no negative effects, it wasn't for me! I needed therapy after that experience lol!
