Hi Gnatty,
I had the same issue, didn't manage to find a balance with Oestrogel and felt it was absorbing and wearing off too quickly, creating constant ups and downs and anxiety. Also moved to patch 2 weeks ago. Can't say yet that I'd be feeling great, still feeling anxiety, but at least the worst rollercoaster feeling is gone. I feel I may be needing some further tinkering on the dose (currently on 50 mcg which might be a bit too low).
Let us know how you get on! xx
