For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I was on the Vivelle-Dot for about 8 years. It took away all the unpleasantness of menopause: the insomnia, the crying, the hot flashes, the dizziness, the panic attacks. And I had absolutely no side effects. Life was great. Then, I stupidly tried to use something different in order to save money (the estradiol pill) and all the menopause horrors came back, along with new ones (nausea, acid reflux, non-stop migraines). I went back on the Vivelle-Dot and felt so much better. Financially, it is a bit expensive, but I switched to the generic by Sandoz and it affects me the same as Vivelle-Dot. Pure bliss."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "The Vivelle-Dot doesn’t work for me and my postmenopausal symptoms. After 3 days of using, I have horrible nausea and breakthrough bleeding. Back to the Mylan estrogen patch (estradiol). I will never try anything else again. Calling doctor now."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Tried the 0.05 mg patch, which I had to remove 7 hrs later due to extreme nausea. Maybe a lower dosage will alleviate that problem. Waiting for a doctor's call."
