Question ? about anxiety and estrogen

Ive have anxiety issues for years, but recently ran out of my normal estratest hs i take. My issue is because of lack or insurance and money to buy it i went back on estridol. I been off the normal estrogen for a week now. Im hot and cold at the same time. Feel extremely agitated and axietous. I cant seem to sit still. If i do try to sit still i rock or if laying down i move around uncomfortally. With normal axiety attacks i feel differnet. My question is can switching estrogen cause these things to happen and if so has anyone found a good medication or alternative.
I have 4 children to take care of and the way i feel isnt helping me beable to do much. I cant eat, sleep and am having diaherrea.
I went to er which gave me valuim and reglan but its not doing any good. While there threw iv they gave me dialuid which calmed me down like asap, but thats not stuff i can get at home.
Due to several bad physical conditions im used to being on alot of pain meds which since my insurance stopped i stopped. I know this problem isnt from withdrawl from the previous meds because its been long enough that i coped from that already. I serously belive its hormone related but dont know. I did just stop my fibermyalgia meds as well i did take lyrica so could be some of that but not sure.
Please if you have any comments i would love some advice. I feel like a big ball of nerves.

Default anxiety and estrogen

Are you still taking reglan? I had a very bad reaction to reglan in December of 2007 - it caused severe anxiety, almost like a continuous panic attack. My symptoms continued even after I went off it - my pcp tried a number of different anti-anxiety meds before finding a medication that worked. Interestingly that medication is usually prescribed for people with bi-polar disorder. I would ask your pharmacist about the reglan, and follow up with your pcp if you think that is what's causing your anxiety.
