Beth,
I hope your 'med person' is a physician. How long have you taken this stuff? Don't give your age at this time on this forum please, but I took this stuff at age 57. I had most of those things happen while on herbs. Those things plateaued after a few months and the herbs didn't do anything to quell my anxiety, to you this may be different judging by your T level. If you doctor prescribes HRT and if you are ready, take them. Get off of the herbs because the particular estrogen involved are a different but weaker type. Though weaker, they are more readily attached to the estrogen receptors in your body and will weaken the effects of the HRT in most people.
Your T level is still a bit high for females though, but much smaller than mine at that time. You think they are sensitive now? Just wait until you're on HRT! It took me only 2 1/2 weeks to feel even more sensitivity! Massaging during this time is out of the question, owwww!
I took saw palmetto, fenugreek, red clover, and GABA tablets. Massaged with 1/2 dropper of fenugreek extract with lotion at night because it smelled like a strong maple syrup but without the sticky and wild yam in the morning after the shower. I went off after 11 months and used the last month to wean the phytos from my system. Started HRT exactly 1 year later for comparison. No contest!
I will publish the comparison around mid-November at the 1 year anniversary.
