They’ve changed the patches. They are diluted. The adhesive has changed too. It’s terrible.

What my wife did she built a week cushion just in case pharmacy was out. Her weekly change was on Monday so the following week she changed it on a Tuesday, following week Wednesday and so on. She did this for 2 months so now when she picks up her monthly prescription she has that extra patch just in case. Hope it made sense

My patch is leaving behind a red, scaly spot that itches and flares for over a week. I’ve moved my spot each week, so that’s not it. Is this typical?

They don’t work. After trying many different patches highest dosage. For some of us, they are absolutely worthless. We need a higher dosage. I’m relieved to see menopausal specialist reporting on this. We will see the day that we receive a much higher dosage. I hope to see that day in my lifetime.

It’s not a good problem to have when you get hot flashes with heart palpitations, every 30 minutes 24 hours a day. I guarantee you this would never happen with Viagra.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful information! My issue is the generic patches 😭 I have had Dotti and or Vivelle patches 2 x week and no issues with hot flashes or night sweats as soon as I used the generic patches menopause symptoms occur 😭

i went without for 5 days while trying to source patches and i felt worse than before i started and now im basically starting over. i love my patches but it’s pointless if i have to keep starting over. gonna ask for a different method or a backup. this is exhausting for us!

I haven’t been able to get my patch since March, after having them for years. So annoying that people that don’t need it are taking the supply up.

I have back up patches but they are in dosages that ended up being too high. Is it ok to cut the patch in half to match my current dose?

I stretched my patches every other one an extra day. Now I have 3 backup patches for when my pharmacy is out of stock.
