For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on Vivelle Dot for two months now, it was fine until the last few weeks. Constant headache, diarrhea and abdominal bloating and gas, also slight vertigo. I really thought this was going to work for me. I was on 0.0375, a tiny amount. It’s just not worth it, no night sweats, but not worth the trade off. Will be looking into another HRT. Very sad. Wish they would make something gentle on stomachs."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had a total hysterectomy when I was 28. I started on Premarin for a few years and then changed to the Vivelle patch for the last 8 years with no side effects. But I was also on the lower doses 0.25 and just recently went up to 0.75."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I started on the patch because of menopause (at age 36, no medical reason i.e. surgery). I used the patch for about 6 weeks and had to stop because of a rash at the application site. This was no surprise because band-aids give me rashes too. I had no problem with 0.5 but when moved up to 0.75 I started with the rash."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "The Vivelle Dot doesn’t work for me and my Postmenopausal Symptoms. After 3 days of using, I have horrible nausea and break through bleeding. Back to the Mylan Estrogen patch ( Estradiol). I will never try nothing else again. Calling doctor now."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "This patch is terrible it falls off after 1 hour it's in a dot instead of a square like other estradiol patches these are cheaply made and I suspect the worst generic you can waste your money on. Never again vivelle dot NEVER!"

For Oophorectomy "I had a complete hysterectomy but this gave me no relief of hot flashes at all. I feel tired all the time and gained 10 lbs. I have been using the Vivelle Dot .05 mg patches for months and thought I would be feeling better by now. Going back to the Dr to get something else because these patches are useless."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Tried the lowest dose and the next highest dose. They both gave me a headache. Too bad because it did help alleviate the night sweats."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Tried the 0.05 mg patch which I had to remove 7 hrs later due to extreme nausea. Maybe lower dosage will alleviate that problem. Waiting for doctor's call."

For Primary Ovarian Failure "Anyone experiencing a drop off feeling using the dot after 2-2 1/2 days? Thought about adding some estradiol gel to the dot for this. Suggestions ?"
