Freaking Out a bit
« on: September 30, 2022, 03:55:49 PM »

sorry I think i'm losing the plot here, major panic mode ( I know I'm pathetic)

I was just getting sorted on my estraderm patches, went to order some more and they're out of stock so they're given me estradot.

Problem is on the side effects on the estradot it says common (1 in 10) sleeplessnes, which I want to avoid as I am currently getting my insomnia under control. I rang my pharmacist and she says that the patches are the same just vary in size, however I cannot see anything on the leaflet for the estraderm patches about sleeplessness as a side effect.

Can anyone help xxx

Hi the patches are the same. They contain the same oestrogen. x

Thanks Dotty, why does it say sleeplessness as a common side effect on the estradot and not the estraderm patches xxx

Just don’t read the leaflet.
I think you are possibly looking into issues and obstacles which aren’t there?

Hi I agree with Nas…don’t read the leaflets. You’d never take any medications if you read all the leaflets . Try not to overthink xx
