I tried the patch yesterday and had a terrible reaction. Hot flashes, headache, woozy stomache. I immediately took it off and today I feel a little bit better but my legs are very sore as if I ran a marathon. I'll deal with the hot flashes!

It's a natural whole herb that promotes Menopausal health,you can find it at the drug store or at wal-mart with the vitamin and herbs. I take one capsule every night, after about 3 or 4 days I stopped having the hot flashes at night and I don't have the mood swings. I also take ST.JOHNS WORT twice a day for mood enhancement. So for any of you ladies who are wanting to stop using your patches you may want to try these 2 items....oh yea... no vaginal dryness either, My husband loves that!

This is my third patch since having a total hysterectomy in 2007 at the age of 33. Due to my age I take a combination of the a pill and the Vivelle-Dot.

My eye doctor said that can happen with this type of medication after a hysterectomy. So he lowed the strenght of my contacts and I have not had any more dizziness. I have had weight gain. Has anyone experienced their heart flutter . It not my blood pressure. It is fine. I was just told by my dr I am slightly anemic. Which I have never had. I never had any of this before taking this medication.
