Going through this at the moment but was not validated by Mayo Drs. There are hundreds of women going through the same in online forums on Facebook, Reddit, Menopause Matters, etc. It may be rare but HRT withdrawal can cause very severe neuropsychiatric symptoms. Many of the women in the forums have healed over time even from severe HRT withdrawal symptoms like akathisia and psychosis. If you are reading this and going through something similar, please comment so other women know they are not alone.

This is very real! see the “Progesterone withdrawal” group on FB which has over 700 members at the moment and that is just one group! HRT withdrawal can cause severe neuropsychiatric symptoms. It may be rare but it does happen! Progesterone in particular acts similarly to benzos in the brain!!!
