Title: HRT Patch stopped working
Post by: flower on May 23, 2014, 04:36:25 PM

Hi there,
I have been doing ok on femseven conti for about 4 years (prior to that tried Ellest Duet which was not  good one for me, and one I can't remember) For about 3 months, I have been just ill! Depressed, dry eyes, hot flushes, angry etc., and have a feeling the patches have stopped working.  Can anyone suggest one that is similar? or point me in a direction of where to look. (Ihave tried) I have been on HRT for 6 years but I can't get motivated or focused on anything lately.  Im in UK so can ask for prescription to be changed, but I don't know what one to ask for (GPs won't be interested). Thanks in advance. :-\

Hi Flower - I think the only other conti patch available is Evorel Conti.
Might be worth a try?

Hi Flower

I was doing well on Femseven Conti patches but changed to Evorel Conti a few weeks ago and I am doing ok on them.

I was cross that I had to change because, like you, I was doing ok.

Thanks for the replies both Limpy and Shazzie.
Shazzie, can I ask why you stopped the femseven? and how long you were on them?
Thanks
