Thank you so much for your help. I didn't taper down, just went cold turkey. I hope that was okay. again I wasn't on it long enough according to Caren to not be able to stop altogether. I hope I did the right thing. when I stopped I was on 19 of my second cycle (started on March 11th of 2011) and was taking 4 lines of estrogen and 10 lines of Progesterone. the week before I was told to increase the estrogen by 2 lines each time, which I did, and I think that is when all hell broke lose, immediately my b/p went through the roof. I was under the impression that progesterone was the "calming" hormone but all I had was worse anxiety, more so than when I started the protocol. Now I am relieved I am off, but still not sure if I did the right thing by just stopping and not tapering down. I didn't want to have to make my own schedule since I have no idea how to do it and cause more damage. I do see a gyno next week and I am going to tell him the whole terrible story and see what he sees and suggests. could you please address the tapering part to me. I don't think I want to have to go back on it just to taper off. today is day 2 of no creams whatsoever. Thanks so much take care...
