Hi Toni:

The estrogen replacement is also important for other things-your bones and cardiovascular system for example. Women's risk of heart attack equals that of men after menopause because of this lack of estrogen. You are too young to be without estrogen. (I know this is controversial and a lot of people go with diet, Soy foods,etc.)

AND this could also explain why you are talking the way you have been!!!!! Without estrogen some women act really strange.

Please refill your prescription and get back on it! You don't want to add any other factors into the elavil experiment. In other words, if you have any weird reactions, was it because of the elavil or the fact that you stopped your ERT?
