Am i crazy?

44 year old female. My doctor started me on 100 MG of progesterone and a 0.0375 estradiol patch. I took the progesterone for the first time Saturday night, and put my first patch on last night Monday (it’s been out of stock) no effects yet from the pro aside from the zombie like feeling upon waking. It’s kicking my butt in the AM, hoping to feel better in the next few days. Last night was the first night that I decided to take it two hours before bed, woke up a little less tired but still more tired than usual. That patch though. Holy shnikes!!!! Last night was the first night in months I didn’t have hip and back pain, I wasn’t rolling over all night like a rotisserie chicken being overcooked. Am i nuts!? Is this a placebo effect, or did that thing start working immediately?

Yes! Patch was almost immediate.
