I agree Lainey. It really helps to use Tegaderm. I hope the call with the nurse goes well.

Hi, hope you are well, do you think the patches help with HRT?? I read somewhere that putting something over patch, stops it from working right, I need the Tegaderm on it like you do or it would never stay on, but just hope it doesn't stop it from working right xx

Tegaderm are breathable and many use them with HRT patches. I have not had any issues with them.

The Evorel patches are very rigid, I'm on Evorel 50 now, but was on Evorel conti for three months last year and the patches are almost the same. Evorel50 has silver backing paper which is much easier. Evorel Conti had the see through film looking like the see through backing and it's hard to work out which bit comes off in which direction.

I love patches, they save your digestion after all, so my patches experience is extensive. I've morphine patches too, but they are stretchy and more sticky, like a very sticky plaster. Even those come off my thighs, anything will come off there, Evorel has no chance.

If you are happy with extra tape, fine, but if you just stick them anywhere below the navel on your tummy, it doesn't really move or rub on anything there and I find they stay.

Hi, thanks for sharing that with me, I have been putting "Tegaderm film 6cm x 7 cm" over my patch now and haven't had any more bother with it staying on, the Nurse says it was ok to do this and it wouldn't affect it working, so will try them for 3 months to see how it goes xx

I was on 25mg patches for 3mths with no problems but started on 50mg 3wks ago and have had nothing but dizziness and nausea. I am on the verge of quitting but I know the anxiety will return. I am really down. Just want the dizziness to stop.

Hello HighAnxiety - mayB start a separate thread so that responses don't become lost?  In the meantime, think why you went on HRT?  Is the anxiety caused by this or did you suffer previously, if so, HRT might not be for you.  Have U tried a dedicated anti-anxiety medication?

Some find that HRT does help with anxiety, however it may take a few months.

Sorry to hear this, I am just new on HRT patches, so hopefully somebody on here can advise you, take care xx
