Title: Raising oestrogen patch
Post by: Clarella on April 05, 2022, 06:13:58 PM

Is it possible to feel more groggy and brain fogged?

There could be other things going on but other symptoms are going and yet this has hit me like a bus for a week.

Hi Clarella,

The nurse started my Evorel patches on 50mg and I felt very odd! Quite jittery and wired.  It has now been reduced to 25 and definitely better.   So I think increasing the dose can definitely give side effects,  hopefully once your body gets used to it they will ease.

Maybe you could increase the dose gradually x
