For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Horrible! Like having a cheap crisp packet stuck on your skin - except they don’t stick! Crinkly - sounds like you’re wearing a nappy! Itchy, uncomfortable, and pathetic adhesion. Not sure if they actually help with symptoms as my anxiety and rages are raised by the awfulness of using these patches! No more!"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Only been on this patch for 2 weeks. Terrible heart palpitations, and it raised my controlled blood pressure to the stage of doubling BP medication. I have had sore hips and pains through my body, and weight gain already, and itchy skin and constipation. So, I have ripped that patch off. Will do this menopause thing naturally."

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."
