Side Effects?

[Guest MonikaC]

I've been taking hormones for only a couple weeks now, but here have been woke changes that I'm wondering if they could be side effects.

1. Acne. I've been breaking out w lot more since I started taking them. Nothing else has really changed in my life. Is this normal? Or even related?

2. Energy levels. I've been so tired recently. Working retail during the Christmas season will wear anyone out, but this is different. I'll be watching TV with my wife and son, and not be able to stay awake. Is this something that could be related also?

Yes, possible side effects, particularly the acne. The being tired it could be or maybe its just as you said with all going on this time of the year.

well, ymmv but I'm not sure you should jump to conclusions about those things until later into HRT. the only side effects I know of are dry mouth and light headed-ness (which could be a result of low blood pressure) but both of these are a result of the t-blocker. I hope this helps! it is so hard to say because it can depend on what your taking and how much (which will not be discussed) and it depends on you and your body

hugs, Nikki

Monika, if you're undergoing LHR that could also be the cause of the acne. I had some severe acne for the first 3-4 months of treatment due to foliculitis.
