So I'd like to believe it's not a placebo effect, after just a full day on Estrace at low dose my anxiety is just gone! :)
Life and relationship situations are still not exactly in a good place but I still feel calm about it all. Wow is this what life could have been like?

Even if it is the placebo effect it doesn't matter...The feeling of well being can be attributed to many things along with the actual effects of taking the medication. Within a few days it is not going to matter anyway... so whatever the cause...enjoy!!

Hi Liz,
I agree with Josie. Sit back and enjoy the ride. For myself I too felt good when I started. Once I told my doctor and started doing this right I felt positively giddy. Since then I've come down to earth more and have indulged in second thoughts and doubts yet though it all I've never lost the feeling that I am doing the right thing.
I hope your bubble never pops.
Hugs,
Jeanette

It seems to scale with my dosage. The higher it is the higher my mental stability.
