Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Update: my doctor had me stop the 1 pump of estrogen 5 days ago.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 When I have tried to go off estrogen I get terrible vertigo and nausea. I just can't and won't do it if I have a choice.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 This is day #11 and now my ears feel like they felt when I started estrogen- full. Lightheadedness is almost constant with dizziness now and then.. I had it prior but not this bad.. Then I think I just might try & ride this out... Feel like a hormonal mess :-( Could someone give me some hope-- thanks. > > > > I am on 1 pump of estrogel.
