"Dotti is awful in appearance! The positive is that the patch is small and circular. The negative is the patch isn't clear, but has writing on it! So humiliating and degrading! Surely most woman who use this type of patch are looking for discretion (in addition to effectiveness)! At least let it be clear or even have a cute tattoo appearance (flower etc)! I hate it!"

"Was on the Vivelle patch for many years and then Estradiol when it was available as a generic. Last fall my med insurance changed and so did my mail order prescription plan. Was automatically sent the Dotti patch. Started having symptoms I didn't relate to the patch until I made a connection and found this site - vivid, odd dreams, hot flashes and night sweats and general irritability (hadn't had this for years on the other patches). Finally got my doctor to request the generic patch only. Of course, suddenly, it's not available through mail order and I have to get at a local pharmacy for more than twice the cost, and it's generic. But it's worth it."

"I came to this site because I was searching for reviews of this estradiol patch. I felt it was reducing the severity of my hot flashes, but not as much as I expected. Reading these reviews has confirmed my belief that this patch is not very effective. I'm going to search for an alternative."

"My pharmacy replaced my Mylan estradiol patch with Dotti. Within 2 days I had spotting and then hot flashes. Within a week I was waking nightly at 4am and unable to sleep with constant temperature changes during the day. I had two remaining patches of the old brand that I had in my travel bag. I used them and the symptoms abated. I've had to switch pharmacies but my obgyn was able to help find a provider and specified the brand."

"I was very happy with my old .05mg /day patches. I've used patches from two other manufacturers with no problem but last month I was switched to Dotti .05/day. The Dotti patches don't work. They stick for a couple of days but they don't deliver .05 mg of estradiol per day like they're supposed to. Even the label admits that these are smaller and contain less estrogen than the others even though it also says .05 mg/day. Dotti must have rounded up....way up......in order to call these patches .05mg/day."

"I am on my second Dotti patch and have been throwing the bed covers on and off, and losing patience. I am wondering if the Dotti patch has been causing these symptoms. I need to go back to Vivelle to see if those symptoms stop."

"This is the second time I have tried Dotti patches 0.05mg 2 times a week and progesterone 100mg/day. The first time I used Dotti, I experienced light dizziness and the inability to completely empty the bladder when peeing in the third week. I told my doctor, and he said Dotti was not likely the cause, but I stopped taking it anyway for a month. I resumed taking it again and just like the first time, by the third week, I experienced light dizziness, a sensation of imbalance when walking or lowering my head, chills, night sweats, abdominal pain on the upper right quadrant, and drops in blood pressure. I have stopped using the patch."

"Terrible. Drenching night sweats. .0375 mg worked on previous patch, pharmacy switched brands on me. Worthless patch."

"I love Dotti, sticks well and works well. No trouble getting it, unlike other patches that are out of stock a lot."

"Horrid! Not working. Mostly success with the "rectangle" vivelle dots and their generics. There is no way large studies were done to confirm equivalencies. This site alone shows 2.3% out of 10 user rating, whereas Vivelle Dot has a 7 out of 10. All disgusting symptoms are returning."
