I went to my gyno appointment shaking, started crying, hot flashing like crazy. I don't have insurance so she told me to try Phytogest progesterone cream and Esroven or Remifemin. Anyone had experience with any of these?

yes, the remi- it worked for a bit, then it was back to the same stuff !!!!

I took Estroven for about 6 months. I thought it helped quite a bit. I felt calmer. It is over the counter, about $18 a month for the brand name, about $15 for the store brand. It took a good 30 days to feel any of the affects. It has soy and black cohosh in it, so it helps with hot flashes and night sweats.

I also started exercising, gave up caffeine and most sugar. Those helped a lot with my anxiety.

Hang in there! You will get better. Let us know how you are doing.
