My doctor put me on estradiol tablets, 1.5 mg to try to resolve two large cysts on my left ovary, and 4 small one on my right. I have taken them for about a month, and will go back to the doctor for another ultra sound on the 22nd of this month to see how things are going. My question is...can HRT make you a crazy person? When I first started taking them, I felt great, or maybe I just thought I did? Now everything sets me off. I am overly emotional. Either a commerical can make me cry, or I am a complete ######! I had to refill my prescription, (Doc gave me the first 30 days, and wrote the script so it could be filed at the pharmacy to fill when the other ran out) and they told me that it was not 1.5 mg.'s it is 1. Will the fact that it is a lower dosage help?

Thanks everyone for your reponses. You have given me a lot to think about. The last couple of days I haven't been as moody, thats a blessing. No, no one tested to find out where my hormone levels were, and I feel just plain stupid that I didn't even think about asking them to. If the HRT's don't get rid of the cysts, then I would rather not take them. Ziglady, where did you read (or hear) about this? I hate to hear this, I was really hoping they would help. I am glad that you all are here to help out, thanks. Oh, and Happy Mother's Day!!!
Wes, and everyone else, thank you for all the information. I will be armed and dangerous when I go to my Gyn on Thursday!

You may have helped me more than you know. I hate feeling like this, and if I could leave me I would. Getting old sucks. Thank God I have a wonderful husband who believed in his marriage vows, for better or for worse! Again thank you Wes, for coming over here from the MP and giving me the info. I will also go out this week and buy the book that you recommended. It is sort of funny, when you are young you are told what to expect when you hit puberty, but no one really talks about menopause, which to me is MORE confusing.
