Hormonal imbalances can be devastating to anyone’s health. From one doctor I was given a non bio-identical hormone which is given to many women routinely to supposedly help me with my issues. I wanted a natural form of the hormone and she said I needed to try out the generic (cheaper) not natural one first. It made me totally dysfunctional. I was severely anxious and mentally imbalanced. I was having thoughts of suicide. I took it for 6 weeks, as I promised my doctor I would try it out. Finally I stopped taking it as I thought I was going crazy. I left that doctor and received help from a naturopathic doctor that prescribed bio-identical hormones. I have been taking them for more than eight years and feel great! Without access to a compounding pharmacy I would have had to quit my job, I would be too dysfunctional to work…or even have a life!!
