Hello,
A month ago I changed from Sandrena to Evorel 25 patches (Sequi. I am age 45). I was getting migraines on Sandrena and the gp said that patches would suit me better due to less fluctuations in oestrogen (which cause migraine). I’ve been on the patches a month and I am still getting daily silent migraines. I have also noticed a lot of hair loss.
Should I be patient and hope that things will eventually settle down? Obviously the hair loss is less of an issue (though still distressing) than the migraines, which I can’t stand much longer.
I spoke to a different GP recently about the migraines who suggested trying the Sandrena again but at a slightly reduced dose (because I am already on the lowest dose of Evorel, and he said you must not cut them up as the reservoirs will leak and the amount will be inconsistent each time). I might try this, but just wondered if I need to give it a bit longer on Evorel first.
Thanks for any advice!
PS - I used to get migraines on the combined contraceptive pill, and also during puberty (I was not on the pill). So I am prone to migraine.
