I would say that this is nothing any peri-menopausal or menopausal woman didn't aleady suspect!!
I'm glad there are now studies to back it up. I've found that 2mg micronized estradiol can make me almost manic and hyper-irritable, but none (and sometimes, 1mg) turns me into a forgetful, sad-depressed weeper! I have to monitor my dosage in the 1.5mg range. Love the stuff!
Now, progesterone, there's a different story! Don't take it, makes me suicidally depressed and gives me loads of physical side effects. (And believe me, I've had a long time of experimenting, from contraceptive pill days, thru' menopause!!).
Thanks
Jas
