Another progesterone post- insomnia and anxiety
Post Content
Hello, I was switched from 100mg to 200mg oral P nightly due to bleeding. I’ve been on 200mg for a little over a month and bleeding finally stopped. At the beginning, I was more weepy and groggy, but still sleeping. This past week, however, I’ve been waking up in panic mode, racing thoughts, and can’t go back to sleep. Does this eventually go away? I was trying to give it 2-3 months for my hormones to settle before calling my doctor because I have had some other major stressors lately, but I was able to manage the anxiety from the stressors. This level of anxiety is beyond being manageable 😕
