For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on the lower dose CombiPatch for over 5 months, and it has been a lifesaver. My hot flashes disappeared within a week of starting, I consistently sleep through the night, sex is great (my natural lubrication is back and orgasms are easy again) - it really has changed my life. I'm almost 58 and just stopped having periods last year - I was in perimenopause for a LONG time. I can't believe I lived with such debilitating symptoms for so many years. I had forgotten what it was like to wear sweaters and sleep under cozy blankets - I was just so hot all the time! Now I feel like myself again, and it's amazing. I've had no breakthrough bleeding, just a bit more bloating than usual when I first started the patch (that's pretty much gone away now). I've never had a patch fall off, and I swim and soak in the bathtub regularly. Sometimes the sticky residue left when I remove a patch is a little challenging to get off my skin, but I found rubbing alcohol works like a charm."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I was diagnosed with sudden early menopause. Severe migraines (worse than I ever had), anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia (barely sleeping), depression, and night sweats. I really started feeling 90% better within a couple of weeks. I’m sleeping. Anxiety is minimal, and I’m sleeping again. Minimal side effects, but I’ve had bloating and bad indigestion."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been going through full-blown menopause for 8 years, plus I was in peri-menopause for 3 years prior to that. I have not taken hormone replacement therapy up to this point. However, after my skin, hair, and nails got even drier, no sex drive, and not being able to have intercourse with my husband for about 3 years because the pain was too unbearable, I decided to try HRT. My doctor put me on the CombiPatch. At first, I did not have any side effects, but I have had constant bleeding for the last 2 weeks with mild cramping and bloating. I found myself barely being able to hold my eyes open around 4 PM every day and was having to sleep. This was my first month being on it, and I have one patch left. At the end of the 7th patch, I took it off and did not put my last patch on. It has been 3 days now with no patch, and I am still bleeding, cramping, and bloating. This has been horrible. I will deal with the hot flashes. I have dealt with them for 11 years...better than HRT."
