For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I normally use Estradiol 50, but had to change to this as it was not available. Not only do they peel off and are incredibly uncomfortable, but for 2 weeks I have been experiencing all the symptoms I started HRT treatment for again: heart palpitations, very low mood, tiredness, headaches, and memory problems, all of which had disappeared when I started using HRT in the form of Estradiol. Something is not right, and these are awful. 0 out of 10."

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 "I've had my patches upped due to the 50 stopping working. I've been on them a week, and I'm back to night flushes, headaches, and extremely sore breasts. Is this natural? When I was on 50, I had no problems until they stopped working. I find the patches stick quite well, no problems falling off. Need advice."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Absolutely fabulous! Used Estriadot - shortage. Used Evorel - not good - now this - good all around on MX 100, hot flushes gone. Initially a headache, eased off. I hope I can stay on this."
