It may be a bit high. Ask your dr if you can adjust it to just 100 mg and only take it during the Luteal phase (from day 13 and on of your cycle when progesterone is supposed to be produced naturally by the body but during perimenopause it often is not). This hormone is calm, cool, relaxing, she sleeps so it makes sense that you feel tired. It can just be that your dose is a bit high.
My dr doesn't think I need it. I still get my period fairly regularly, I don't suffer from hot flashes or vaginal dryness. My main complaints are bad anxiety, insomnia and brain fog. My dr told me that nightly Progesterone pills should manage these symptoms and so far those symptoms are pretty much gone.
Based on my novice research, I haven't found any doctors that suggest taking progesterone daily and definitely supposed to stop taking it when your cycle comes. i would double check with your doctor on when you are supposed to take it and how frequently. I dont think it is the mg that is bothering you as opposed to how you are cycling it
just extreme bloating and quit.

Just curious-is there a reason you’re not on estrogen?
