I'm so glad you were able to go off the Wiley hormones cold turkey without feeling awful. That's a great start to reclaiming your health. The only reason for tapering off is if the estrogen withdrawal gives you bad headaches or other problems. Since you're alrady feeling better you can play it by ear and add a little estrogen back if you feel you neeed it before you see the doctor.
When progesterone is taken in smaller doses it seems to be the calming hormone. When taken in large doses, progesterone (a potent steroid) seems to act more like testosterone, causing steroid rage and anxiety.
I'm sorry you had to go through such a hard time --and that certain doctors are still not providing full disclosure about the serious side effects possible on the Wiley Protocol.
Put you pulled yourself out of it and should be proud. Take care of yourself and let us know if you find a more workable BHRT program.
