I too was on estrace but after 6 weeks or so was having anxiety and feeling teary and depressed. I asked to switch to the compounded formula and thought I could use it twice per week as I did estrace but not enough, the frequency of urination came back and now the doctor wants me to use it every day for 2 weeks and the pharmacist said not to be afraid to use it everyday forever. Any advice out there??

Please call your doctor as soon as you can and see how she/he want's you to use it if the direction are not on the box make sure they are not on the tube in the box..wierd that they did not put the directions on it somewhere sorry but just to many different way of using this cream..chuck1957

Thank you for your response, she did advise initially to use 3x per week but thought I might get away with 2x, not to be. I was just wondering if anyone else had used this product and what their results were.. Realizing that everyone has to find what works for them. Used it last night and have only had to pee 3x times today so far instead of the usual 8-10 and it's almost 5pm!! unreal. I will do the once daily for 2 weeks and go from there and then post an update as I go. These forums have helped me so much and I want to help other women going through this dreadful problem
