Help need advice
« on: January 30, 2019, 04:36:08 PM »
I am now on day 1 without my Femseven Conti Patch. I'm not seeing my doctor until Monday. Will I have any side effects of just stopping my HRT.This is not my fault my doctor just did me a repeat prescription and it's no longer available

I would ring my Surgery for advice, has anything else been offered?

I am using HRT purely to help with hot sweats/flushes, was on Femseven for over 10years, due to them not being available, I am now on the 'only' other Conti patch available Evorel, its not as good as F.S but without it I couldn't cope with the sweats..

I have tried a few times to come off the patches, and did reach around 2weeks before symptoms became unbearable, hopefully you may cope for 6days, but not sure what your symptoms are..xx

Phone the GP surgery Rosebush and say that the Pharmacy cannot fulfil your prescription because the femseven patches are discontinued and that you want the Dr to issue an emergency prescription.  There is absolutely no reason why this cannot be done and for you to go without for even a short while.

My doctors told me to return the prescription and they would pass it on to the pharmacist at the surgery. That was Monday I think I will phone them tomorrow. I don't know what I can go onto as I tried everything before I found the Femseven and they all didn't agree with me. Im on other medications for my colitis.

OOps sorry I think I got the two of you mixed up in my post :-X

I don't know why the GP thinks his surgery pharmacist can magic them up - there are women all over the country wanting them and they are not being produced! - if he can and word gets out, he might have a very long queue at his door  :)
Everol seems to have ended up the default or I think there is estrodot and separate progesterone from what I have read but I can't suggest anything in the patch portfolio because I dont use them  Sorry.
