GENERAL
I have been using naturally compounded estrogen and progesterone for about 13 months now. I was having lots of perimenopausal symptoms such as, very forgetful, anxiety/panic attacks, fatique, fuzzy brain, crying,and depression. I was put on an antidepressent to "cover up" the symptoms. I was better but I knew I was not solving the real problem. I found some information on compounded natural estrogen and progesterone which made a lot of sense to me and all my symptoms were discussed. I then found a doctor who was willing to read the book and prescribe what I needed. With the help of the doctor and pharmacist, I am doing much better in the last year then I have for the previous 2-3 years. I feel I am treating my body with natural replacements not using chemicals made from horse urine.
