Hi,
In my opinion, you should not worry too much. You are already above 55 years. So you have already achieved natural menopause. So you can definitely stop Norethisterone without any fear. You may have withdrawal bleeding for 1-2 days only. So don't be scared.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
