Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use to chart progress.  Is there any info in the leaflet in the box?  If not, mayB ring the pharmacist tomorrow and ask?

Hopefully someone who takes this regime will be along.

Hello Rach. Welcome to the forum. I find HRT patches mean less side effects for me. Everybody is different and hopefully any side effects you have will settle down quickly.  :)
