Went to my doc to see about getting hormone replacement because I was maybe sleeping 3 hours a night on a good night. They said my hormone levels were fine, and suggested an antidepressant. I thought that was crazy (grin) but desperate for relief went on Wellbutrin for a month and was not only not sleeping, but I was so anxious I could not even leave the house. I was switched over to trazodone a month ago and am now occasionally sleeping 8 hours, with 6 hours being more the norm. I still have an underlying anxiety that is *not* normal for me. I realize now that my staying at MQ through the changes was also definitely not normal behavior for me. I still think all this may be hormonal, although I have to say the trazodone does help me sleep. For all y'all that have had the bioidentical hormones done, do they help bring back your waistline? I went from having a waist and a flat tummy to 2 years later having a fat tummy and no waist.
