Increasing dose

[Runaround50]

Currently on the 75 patch. I don't think I'm absorbing much of it right now ( been using for over 2 years).

Menopause specialist upped the dose to 100 recently. This gives me horrid period pains and a general feeling of yuk.

I've got a few 50 patches and some sandrena and was thinking of combining the two. Does anyone else do this? Has it helped. To be honest, I've never felt great on HRT, but I'd feel worse without!

Suppose I need to experiment a bit, but all the trialling, causes havoc with the brain and body!

Thanks.

I asked for 25 patches to add to 75, but cut the 25s in half and used 87.5 for a couple of months before moving up to 100. I found it easier to cope with.
