Other conditions: | | fibromyalgia, sjogrens |
Other drugs taken: | | none | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | There was a small reduction in my hot flashes but the side effect was bothering me too much to stay on the patch longer to see if it would have totally eliminated them over time. |
Side effects: | | I developed gas pains in my abdomen where the patch was. I was very bloated and uncomfortable. I think I gained a couple of pounds too and I had only been using it for a week. |
Comments: | | The doctor thought I should try the patch because it would bypass my liver. I have been taking pills for eight years and didn't really have any side effects - so I returned to my original treatment of estradiol and provera. |
