Hi,
I recently started taking nature throid and progest-e under the supervision of a holistic endocrinologist. I don't have a thyroid so I'm on 3 grains of nature throid. In October, I had a D&C because I lost a pregnancy. As a result, I wasn't sure when my period would come. My Dr. suggested I start taking progest-e anyway for 14 days. I've been on it for 10 days at this point. She started me at 10 drops at night before bed. Two nights ago I was awake the entire night. I called her to ask her what to do about that and she said to double up on the Progest-e. So, I took 20 drops last night and while at first I felt very sedated, I started becoming very restless when I went to bed. My legs were shaking and I felt incredibly anxious. I ended up taking Ativan as it was the only thing that I knew would calm me down (I don't take Benzos but my friend had it and I was desperate). Although I had a good night sleep last night, today I continue feeling very anxious. I can't call my Dr. today because it's the weekend so I looking for advice on what to do with the Progest-e. I feel like my period is about to come but somehow stuck and this might be giving me PMS in the form of anxiety.
Any help figuring out what is going on and how I should move forward is very much appreciated. Thanks!
