If progesterone dosent work in a perimenopausal woman for sleep, what else is recommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Progesterone is not prescribe to improve sleeping disorder during the peri menopausal stage. Your obgyn can discuss with you specific treatments for the menopausal symptoms such as hormone replacement therapy as well as specific treatment for sleeping disorder but Progesterone is very inefficient in treating sleeping disorder.
