I'm on the gel and have found it easy to up my dose as advised.
I was told there are supply issues with the patch if that helps to decide!

How quick did you find you felt better?

I was in surgical menopause so any hormones were going to have an impact quite quickly I think.
Hot sweats started to improve within 2 days.
Real improvement within a week.

Only been taking for 5 weeks and I think I am just about feeling the full benefits.
