I have been taking the hormone in troche form for the past nine months.The quality of my sleep, my mood and overall well-being has immensely improved since I started taking the hormones. I wish I had started five years earlier. My health was rapidly declining, I could not sleep. As a result my entire day was messed up. I had terrible hot flashes, my mood swings were out of control and affecting my marriage. I wasn't functioning well. Thanks to hormone therapy my overall health has improved among other aspects of my life. Right now I think of my life before and after hormone and I remember about my life before the hormones as a terrible ordeal.
