Anyone else feel ill on Novofem (after Elleste Duet)?

Was on Elleste Duet 1mg for about 3 years but was switched to Novofem during HRT shortages about three months ago.
Theoretically they are identical ingredients, but in the last couple of months I've felt weird - very anxious for some of the month, sometimes a bit dizzy/ spaced out/ heartburn and my hair feels really thin.

Anyone else had similar on Novofem? I'm just wondering whether to switch back?

I’m in the same situation as you, I used to be on Elleste Duet and now on my third pack of Novofem and like you have been feeling dizzy recently with heartburn. This is making me anxious , I might go back to the doctor. Have you gone back to your GP?
