Menopause |
Stopping estrogen02/06/2008 |
I am 59 yrs. old and have been on estrogen for 13yrs. My new doctor told me to quit immediately for fear of stroke or heart attack, Which I did 3 months ago. I am now experiencing day and night body sweats and my nerves are bad. I would appreciate anything you have to say on this issue. Thank you.
Some women try to taper their hormones slowly so that they can adjust more gradually. Another option is to use one of the SSRI or SNRI medications to help hot flashes and "nerves". One popular product is Effexor, but there are several in this category.
