HRT - Hormone Replacement Therapy - Hormone Treatment

kuddlemees asked:


Is it safe to combine hrt(estrace and progeston) prescribed by my doctor with an over the counter combination vitamin with menopause herbs that contain black kohosh and red clover. I have been on the hrt therapy with my MD for approx 2 weeks with very little change in my symptoms and thought I would ad this vitaman/herb combo with it.
I have researched the internet and am getting conflicting answers. Some say ok and others say no way.
Has anyone every done this or know if it is safe?

I am 3 years post-hysterectomy and have been on Estrace since that time. I suspect it is causing me to gain weight, lose muscle tone and look older! I have noticed a big decline since the surgery, and lately have heart fluttering and palpitations occasionally. Yesterday I did not take the Estrace and had no palpitations all day. I want to stop taking it. Is it safe to do that?
