I've been using the patches (50 mg) for just over 4 weeks, hoping to improve night time hot flushes which wake me up every 1.5-2 hours. So far the only change I can see is that I've had a few stomach cramps / other period type symptoms, though no bleeding, and frequent mental block when finding words (not as full on as the brain fog that some seem to suffer).
I know that they say 3 months to judge how well it's working, & will return to the dr for a check in then but I was hoping for some positive changes to balance out the side effects!
