hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
i understand your concern.
hormone replacement therapy is given to replace that are not synthesized because of the surgery .
stopping hrt will reduce body hormonal levels that might cause adverse effects in future.
hormone replacement therapy can have adverse effects but you have continue them.
loss of apetite and dizziness can be related to thyroid problem, now get one thyroid profile repeated and consult physician about thyroid dose adjustment and on continuation of hormone replacement therapy.
regards
