"In general, I'm happy with this patch. I have difficulty getting it to stay on for an entire week. It stopped the hot flashes and allowed me to have sex again (thin vaginal tissues caused major problems). I do have asthma, high cholesterol, and a history of migraines. I don't think I'm having any side effects. The progesterone I have to take with it causes terrible side effects. I'm 57."

"If you work out, if you swim, if you take baths **Do not agree to this patch** it is a waste of $$. In what universe does this stay on for more than two days? It might be okay for someone who never sweats and takes very quick showers. I was really hoping I had found a solution to my symptoms. This is not it."

"People seem to have an issue with keeping the patch in place. The only thing that seems to work is Tegaderm hospital tape, cut a piece and place it over the patch. I do not know why Big Pharma, which charges a fortune for this RX, does not include a cut-to-size Tegaderm tape piece with every patch. Surely they can afford it, and they must know getting the patch to stick is an issue for their users. Side note: the glue on the patch causes my skin to be red, burn, and itch during the first day of a new patch, this diminishes as the week progresses. It works well for symptoms of low energy and achy joints, muscles, hot flashes. Not so well with the vaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness part, which is too bad. I've been on it for close to a year, and those symptoms seem to be getting worse, even with regular sexual activity. I will be trying the ring."

"Like it so far except I'm bleeding a lot. My doctor says it's normal for the first 6 months. It's like having a period 2 weeks of the month. Other than that I think I'm more chilled, no hot flashes."
