For Postmenopausal Symptoms "This patch is not the same as their competitor. They ran out of my usual brand. So I have been on Estraderm for 2 weeks, I am bleeding, my anxiety is through the roof. I am exhausted. All the symptoms I had before starting the estrogen patch. So who knows what is in this patch."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Within 48 hours of putting on the patch at 0.05 mg/day, my blood pressure went up, I had head pounding, anxiety, and headache for 24 hours. I waited another 24 hours and removed it. Between 4-6 hours, my symptoms had completely abated."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Don't think it's for me. I felt okay the first few days, then the patch started to make me itch and wouldn't stick properly anyway. Then, four days in, I got a headache, body aches, and anxiety. They want me to stick it out for another ten days. That is very unlikely to happen at this point. I think I'll try other options."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Have recently been prescribed this as Evorel patches are in short supply. These patches are of a larger circumference, and the adhesive is much poorer. To date, the maximum I have gotten out of a patch is 48 hours, and even then it’s usually hanging by a thread. It says it all to me that the patch leaves absolutely no residue on my skin where the Evorel did, and I had to remove it with baby oil. Ironically, one of my biggest menopausal side effects is anxiety, and I’m now stressing every time I put a patch on. I’ve asked for a review of my HRT medication, and I’m going to ask to be put on the oral-only medication. I can’t be doing with the stress."
