I was experiencing debilitating anxiety, with traditional prescription meds not helping at all. I tried several prescriptions over an 18-month (miserable) time period. Two months on a compounded progesterone troche, my symptoms were drastically reduced, and I had hope that I might be able to regain some sort of normal life for the first time in the 18 months! It's been a year since I've been on this compounded regimen and I'm virtually symptom free now! Also, I am allergic to synthetic estrogen (I couldn't even take birth control pills), so when I do hit full menopause, if bioidentical hormones are not available to me from a compounding pharmacy, I will have to suffer through menopause with no relief!
