[...] Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 My ND (naturapath dr) prescribed an all natural progesterone/estrogen cream. I have used it for 2 days and think it may be affecting my taper. I found this online: estrogen accelerates the metabolism of lorazapam Does anyone have enough knowledge to put this into "english" for me? I guessing it means that it will affect w/d s/x also this: Our findings suggest that one way estradiol might affect neuroendocrine and other centrally mediated processes is through effects on GABAA-receptor binding. estradiol might influence GABAA-receptor binding through multiple mechanisms any insight would be appreciated. I have discontiued the use of the cream until I can speak with the dr. on Monday. But I would like to be informed when I talk with him thanks all....

[su...] Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Oh wow, I don't know what that means, but my ND put me on estrogen cream and I felt like hell on it and upped my klonopin usage and I know it's what caused my addiction. Be careful with that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[el...] Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 My ND (naturapath dr) prescribed an all natural progesterone/estrogen cream. I"m on it too. When I first started it (I was post taper) the estrogen dose felt way too high. Revved me up terribly. The estrogen was in a separate cream from the prog. I cut it back to about a quarter dose (with my ND's knowledge) and slowly worked my way back up over a few cycles. I"m fine on it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
