Hi Ladies,

Is this normal to feel full of energy on estrogen? It's great during the day but I still feel it at night.....it's almost a nervous energy. I don't know if I like it or not. Feels close to anxiety.

Hi there,

My Estrogel (estradiol) can give me that "high". How much are you taking? Too much can push me over the edge into a feeling that I don't like, but my proper dose is good. Is it just estradiol or a combination? When are you taking it?
I do not take it anywhere close to bedtime or it will keep me UP!!

I can't use it at all at any dose because it does that to me. It is a stimulating hormone and can push the level of noradrenaline in your brain too high. If I use it I rush around like a whirling dervish but at the same time I get terribly anxious. I can't stand it

I know I have an extreme reaction but that is what it tends to do.
Maybe a lower dose might help you?

At first I noticed that I felt a bit wired, but after feeling like doing nothing, I decided it was a wonderful feeling. I took advantage of it and got a lot done. After getting more balanced out, I found that I still had a lot of energy, but without that nervous feeling.

You might need to lower the does a bit.

Hang in there, (don't stop just yet...)

I would almost welcome this crazy feeling. almost. I don't feel any more energy from using my 1 pump of estrogel a day than when I don't use it. Maybe I need to switch to a Patch or so mething else. I've been using it now almost a year and I sleep better and don't have as many anger rages, but I don't feel any boosts in energy at all.

Thanks all for your replies.....it's good to know this is normal. I'm using 0.5 ml a day and use it in the morning. The cream is a low dose compared to my progestone. My pharmacy lady is VERY conservative with the estrogen. It took her two years to finally let me try it! I did notice today that "edgy" feeling not as intense so maybe I'm getting use to it. I will say my workouts this week have been great!~
