I had no idea ahead of time, but my new prescription is for Estradot 50 instead of Evorel 50. I'm not happy - I'm actually really worried. Can you help me know whether my concern is justified?
Things are only just about on an even keel and I'm waiting for my next appointment with the consultant at the menopause clinic. I've been better since changing the Evorel patch every 3 days instead of twice weekly, after taking posts on here. But I'm not steady.
Historically, I've reached badly to changes in medication - different brands of the same SSRI in particular. I don't have any intolerances that I know of, apart from bread / pasta which don't seem relevant. But a quick research tells me that people do find the two patches affect them quite differently.
I'm on the phone to the surgery now, in a long queue. I don't know why they would make a big change like that for somebody under a specialist clinic, with no consultation or even warning.
