Changing patch too often - feeling really bad - please advise
« on: November 23, 2025, 10:49:57 PM »

Hi,

I have been on 50 strength patches for 5 months and doing OK. I have a bit of histamine intolerance and estrogen dominance and so was advised to start Slynd and go to  50 strength in July.
About 6 weeks ago I started feeling very low so went back up to 75. Stayed on it for 9 days but then started to get anxiety/sinus inflamed/brain fog that I have been trying to avoid (the reason I'm on HRT) so went back to 50.
Felt better for 4 days then it came back so I put it down to the heating bringing on my symptoms and went back to 75.
I know this is really stupid and I shouldn't have played about with the dosage like this.
The problem now is that I feel worse than ever and am regretting changing from 50 at all. It is my period too at the moment which is rare so obv my hormones are all over the place.
My question is do you think I could go back to 50 with the intention of not changing it again for at least 3 months? I feel like I did when the doctor said I have estrogen dominance.
To clarify - I have been on 50 strength for  5 months. 75 for 9 days. 50 for 4 days and 75 for 4 days!!! In my defence my head is all over the place at the mo!

Many thanks, Sam
