It all began 2 years ago when I began noticing changes to my sleeping habits, which affected my mood. I decided to visit my doctor and I quickly discovered I was in pre-menopause. The doctor I visited gave me a sample of a medication that in big, red letters said "suicide risk". Clearly this was nothing I was going to take. I spoke to my chiropractor who recommended my current doctor. She took the time to speak to me about the care I would receive and the compounding medication she would be prescribing me. I trusted her and the medicine I would be using. I have been doing extremely well with the compounding medication and have had no side effects. I implore you not to take these compounded hormones away, as they work for so many women like me, that need these as part of their daily lives.
