To answer the question, how long does it take to get the hormones out of your system, that was never studied or tested by the Wiley organization before they began promoting and selling the protocol. Usually, that is the first thing studied. That's why the ethics of the Wiley Protocol have been questioned by doctors and scholars.
From my own experience and many others, the estrogen wears off rather quickly if you taper down to a sensible amount. But the progesterone gets stored in the fat cells and organs so it may take at least two years.
The damage the high doses may have done to your thyroid or other organs during that time seems to vary. Be glad you were smart enough to quit before the damage got worse. Some people went thru what you did for a year. The anxiety can be brutal on the Wiley Protocol but I haven't met anybody whose anxiety persisted after they quit the Wiley Protocol and went on a bioidentical regimen prescribed by an experienced practitioner.
