Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 I have been treating a lady who wishes to come off HRT, for the last four months. She has been taking it 15 years, and previous attempts to come off by herself have resulted in drenching night sweats. Therefore, this time she has been cutting down very gradually on my advice, eventually was using it only once a week with no problems. But now the hot flushes are gradually returning, and if the previous pattern is followed, the night sweats can be expected in around 2 weeks. I am giving her Cimicifuga, a and Eleutherococcus together with Harpagophytum and Gelsemium (she also has arthritis), and Sage tea bid. She is also generally quite run-down, fatigued and takes long-term antidepressants (sorry, can't remember which and I don't have her notes here) since a " breakdown " twenty years ago. Any advice out there? Cheers. Robyn Robyn BA(Oxon) MNIMH Medical Herbalist Tel 0114 2206850 herbalist@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
