Panick

Been on hrt gel for 4 years after the patch wasn't helping, since December my anxiety and panick have been crazy. Got blood test 55 days ago and my pmol was a dangerous 1827! Doctor immediately reduced my pumps of gel from 4 to 2 just like that, at first I was ok ish but about every 2 weeks now I get severe panick, anxiety and dread. So its 9 weeks tomorrow that I reduced my dose, I have heard its normal for these episodes but my word, they are terrifying. I am hoping to start feeling better, anyone else experienced this? Please tell me im not alone in this and that it does improve. Tia
