Progesterone therapy?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to hear from anyone who has used progesterone cream or another kind of progesterone supplement, and what your experiences were.

I am 32, not menopausal, and had irregular periods since I was 13 which got worse as I got older. I have been on birth control for about 8 years to regulate my periods, but when I tried to come off of birth control last year I had terrible debilitating anxiety. I went back on the pills about 6 months later because I figured going off the pills was the cause, but I still get anxious about 2 weeks before my period and it lasts for about a week and a half to two weeks.

I've been reading a lot about how birth control pills really mess up hormone levels, and how low progesterone levels can cause low GABA levels which causes anxiety. My doctor seems to think this is all nonsense when I asked her about it, but I've read some articles on MedLine that suggest otherwise.

Can anyone give me any advice? I'm pretty sure I need a new doctor, but I would like to hear from anyone else who has beaten anxiety through progesterone therapy. Do you know of any negative side-effects to progesterone therapy?

Thanks!
