I was on Estraderm 2yrs, then 3 weeks ago due to shortage I was switched to Evorel 75 and have had continual bad heads, migraine type. Has anybody else experienced this ? I've had a 10 day migraine 😭

I am a headache type anyway even previous to HRT, but even on Estraderm the last few months I've noticed I was getting migraine mid cycle as well as during the end of the utro cycle. But these on Evorel are horrendous. 😞

Lilliith 112.  Yes I had exactly the same experience with Evorel.  The most horrendous migraines - even had a pixalated one where my vision pretty much went completely for a while which was really scary.  Had migraines with auras in the past zig zag lines etc but never one like that.  I persevered for a few weeks but the migraines were every day and did not improve and 3 weeks ago I was switched onto Estradot 50 which seems to suit me much better.  Only a few headaches and very mild compared to Evorel and becoming milder and less frequent as the days go on.  Like you I am a headachey person anyway but the ones on Evorel were off the scale.  You certainly are not alone and I do hope you can get back to your original Estraderm very soon. x

Pipa52, blimey I'm sorry to hear that you have had exactly the same experience on Evorel 
The Dr has given me 3 months worth of these patches. I think tomorrow I will have to ring my Drs surgery as I can't carry on like this, I've been in bed all day today. Maybe I will try Estradot like you.

Well I've hardly slept due to the pain, still have this migraine day 11.  Very tempted to just rip this damn patch off but that might make it worse 😭. Roll on 8.30 when I can ring the surgery.

Been prescribed Estradot now, but Boots are out of stock until tomorrow evening even though the prescription checker days they have them in stock ! 🤔
