Doctor prescribed these for me yesterday.
History: no period for over a year, suddenly having massive amounts of hot flushes, slightly anxious etc. Probably about 20+ flushes a day where I end up drenched in sweat. Gained about 2 stone over last 3 years or so (realise that could just be me and not the menopause!).
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of these patches? Doctor said sweats should stop within a week. She also said they might help me reduce my weight slightly due to my hormones being more aligned - I am hoping this might happen. Also, although I only stuck the first patch on at lunchtime yesterday, it is already peeling away from the edges and definitely won't remain in place (on upper front thigh) for a week. Can I just replace with a new one when it comes off? Love to hear all the positives about these please. I am hoping for miracles (well to at least go back to how I used to be and not be some anxious sweat drenched mother most of the time).
