For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I'm 51 years old, in perimenopause, and having terrible night sweats, heart palpitations, vaginal dryness, and anxiety. Was using vaginal estrogen cream with micronized progesterone for certain days each month. That helped with vaginal dryness, but not insomnia caused by night sweats. I just started the 0.5/0.14 patch. It instantly gave me the worst acid reflux, and I take a PPI daily. I mean the worst. I have a hiatal hernia, so GERD is a huge problem. Estrogen just may be off-limits for me since it relaxes the esophagus. I'm going to try to stick it out for a month to see if it gets better. The patch came off the first day, so I bought waterproof Nexcare medical tape to put over it. I hope this patch works for me. The palpitations are scary, and my anger/anxiety is even scarier for people who have to deal with me!!"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on and off CombiPatch (due to working out of the United States) for the past 10 years, and it wasn't available. I just resumed taking it and have been experiencing cramping and vaginal bleeding on and off for the past two months. My doctor and I are taking a conservative approach and are waiting a period of time for my body to adjust before we take any further action. I am comfortable with this for the time being. Next step if the bleeding doesn't stop would be to order an ultrasound of my uterus."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been using this product for years, and I hate to go without it. I sleep well, no hot flashes, mood is reasonably stable, no vaginal dryness. At one point when I was without it while waiting for my script to fill, I knew how much it was helping me. All good, and it is easy to use. Unfortunately, it is expensive and not always in stock. My current medication insurance does not cover the whole price, but it will be helpful once I hit my deductible. In the meantime, it is pricey. There are no good coupons that I have been able to find."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "My symptoms were slight, including flashes at night and some insomnia. Vaginal dryness was another concern. The patch has really helped. It's been almost a year since I started the patch. Early on, I had some spotting, but that has stopped. I am having some puffiness in the application area."
