I have a client who wanted to try Phytoestrogen.
She had a complete hysterectomy, and has been on synthetic Estrogen for years.
Unbeknownst to me, she went off the Estrogen cold turkey before taking the Phytoestrogen. It's been almost two weeks and she is miserable. She started out taking 2 a day, then 3 a day, and the last few days has been taking 4 a day.
The symptoms she is still experiencing are: hot flashes, insomnia, libido changes, dryness, irritability.
She is going back to the doctor tomorrow to get another prescription for Estrogen because she is so miserable.
What else can we try? Should she have tapered off the Estrogen? Or?
Thank you,
Riki
