My mother is taking hormones to treat her menopause and they are literally making her so “out of it” she’s not even aware of where she is
My mom decided to get hormones a few months ago (Estradiol 1mg and Progesterone 200mg, both oral) to treat her menopause symptoms and it has been an absolute nightmare.
She takes them every night and afterwards she can barely stand up straight, she’s talking incoherently, she falls into a deep sleep every two minutes and in any attempt to wake her up she wakes up and doesn’t know where she is.
she’s been falling asleep on the couch and when my sister and i try and get her to go to her bed she always says “in a minute” and then wakes up at 4-5 am and is scrambling to get ready for work. (she leaves 6-7 usually)
she says this is all normal but i have an incredibly hard time believing her. is anyone else on these hormones? how do they make you feel?
