| 4 | Hormone replacement therapy | Edema, night sweats after several years, possible mini strokes, memory loss, increased triglycerides, elevated cholesterol level, hypothyroidism interactions, hypertension, abnormal mammograms, fibro cystic breasts, depression, anxiety | It has worked great as a replacement for the hormone loss due to complete hysterectomy. However, after several years on it, more and more side effects seem to be occurring. | F | 58 | 18 years 0.025 2X W | 1/19/2014 | 4 | Full Hysterectomy | It caused me to perspire at my bikini area. ALOT. Sometimes, I still had night sweats. | Didn't stick during hot weather months like the summer. Came off when I was sweaty which was embarrassing. Because one of my side effects was that it caused me to perspire in my bikini area, I moved the patch to my behind. Which was way more affective but often left slight rashes when removing. | F | 35 | 1 years 1X O | 3/30/2013 | 4 | peri menopause making me unable to | I feel fabulous! | F | 47 | 3 days ,05 | 6/1/2012 | 4 | Partial in oct an now have hot fash | Spotting an yeast infecation . | F | 49 | 0.1 mg 1X day | 3/2/2012 Patient History | 4 | hot flashes | Weight gain, constipation, breast soreness in one breast with fibrous cyst. | No more hot flashes. I'm going to ask my doc about trying a lower dose to mitigate or eliminate side effects. | F | 51 | 2 weeks .05 2X W | 2/16/2012 | 4 | hot flashes | Weight gain, constipation, breast soreness in one breast with fibrous cyst. | No more hot flashes. I'm going to ask my doc about trying a lower dose to mitigate or eliminate side effects. | F | 51 | 2 weeks .05 2X W | 2/15/2012 | 4 | hot flashes | Weight gain, constipation, breast soreness in one breast with fibrous cyst. | No more hot flashes. I'm going to ask my doc about trying a lower dose to mitigate or eliminate side effects. | F | 51 | 2 weeks .05 2X W | 2/15/2012 | 4 | hysterectomy and BSO | Some weight gain because hypothyroid, then discovered you need to use natural progesterone to prevent estrogen from competing with thyroxine binding sites. | A great product. Easy to use, a bit pricey but works. Wish it came in a higher dose. I think I need more than the 0.1 dose. Helps to overlap doses, leave old patch on for a few hours until new one has "kicked in". Then remove old one. Recommend as great source of bio-identical estrogen. | F | 42 | 3 months | 1/12/2009 | 4 | menapause symptoms | Non so far | I am a breast cancer survivor and had terrible hot flashes. I decided that maybe the shocks of my hot flashes may not be any better than replacement therapy so I decided to ask my doctor for the Dot and progesterone cream . I am on the lowest dose and it has helped tremendously. I have only been on for a month so I will update later. So far no weight gain or anything. Also my pimples seemed to get better too and sexual interest has some what returned. | F | 53 | 3.5 weeks | 9/23/2008 | 4 | perimenopause | None, so far so good, I hope it stays this good. I had night sweats, up all night, I felt like I was going crazy. The sweating completely stopped on night 2 and I CAN SLEEP!!! | Girls, you don't have to suffer. This is the 21st century!!! | F | 51 | 1 weeks | 4/15/2007 | 4 | Hysterectomy/HRT | Didn't seem to help libido as much as Climara, but sticks better | F | 51 | 8 months | 7/4/2004 | 5 | Early onset of menopause | Eliminated night sweats and headaches. Completely awakened my sexual desire which was a fun bonus. I am not sure if it's helped with insomnia because I now wake up every 3 hours to touch myself. Not complaining! Also very very very intense orgasms. | Free your schedule by day 3 taking this and enjoy the ride. | F | 35 | 7 days .1 mg 2X W | 8/21/2023 | 5 | Only side effect is that patch gathers lint around sides but it is a necessary evil in order to get estrogen into my body. I take the medicine for gender affriming hormone therapy (GAHT). Basically I was I was born a female. | M | 50 | 12 months TWO 0.1mg 2X W | 5/29/2022 | 5 | Hystertomy | No side effects of vivedelle dot.. at all..went to get a refill and boom.no more they are on backorder from the manufacturer..ive tried mylan from wal mart brand which sucks doesnt help at all .and so then tried dotti which sucks big big time dont bother with them...so im at the mercy of whatever or who ever im so sick of this..i just want to be back normal i miss my vivedelle dot...help symptons getting worst and on top of that i have anxiety not good | 52 | 20 years 2 weekly 1X day | 10/10/2020 | 5 | Post hysterectomy mood swings hot flashes | A little dizziness in the mornings, possible weight gain, but have been over eating since Thanksgiving | This patch gave me my life back! After 4 hours I felt calm and happy, in love with husband. I've had low or no libido for 10 years. Had hysterectomy 6 months ago. Decreases asthma. Hot flashes which started 2 years ago are gone. I love this patch. .05 mg on a 130 pound, 5 foot 2 woman is the right dose for me. Lower dose made me irritable, bloated and brought on asthma. Careful with coffee or chocolate, it seems to over stimulate me, more than before. | F | 54 | 3 months .05 | 1/8/2020 | 5 | No side effects - I feel great and have lots of engery. | F | 64 | 14 years 1.0mg | 5/16/2019 | 5 | Hot Flashes menopause symptoms | none | amazing just amazing. I can sleep, no hot flashes, sex life again and less pain in my body. I will say that I got a refill once at Walmart that did not work. Their Generic caused me breast pain and moodiness. Went back to Meijer to get their generic and back to awesome. | F | 53 | 6 months 0.0375 2X W | 1/22/2018 | 5 | low estrogen - menopause | If I changed the patch only twice a week then I experienced migraines on day 3 of patch as the estrogen wore off. By changing the patch 3 times a week my estrogen level stayed steady and stopped the migraines from coming. | Started on the Vivelle-dot. Switched to the Sandoz generic version. Sandoz is the generic pharmaceutical division of Novartis (who makes the vivelle dot). It is the same patch and is made in the same facility as the vivelle dot. | M | 2 years .1mg 3X W | 5/28/2017 | 5 | HRT | None | After using the brand name for many years, I recently started using the generics. Three months of the Mylan brand and for a month now on Sandoz. Both generic brands have worked just as well as Vivelle-Dot. Only reason I like the Mylan brand more is because they made the rigid protective liner larger than the patch. Makes it easier to remove from the patch from the liner. | F | 57 | 7 years .0375 2X W | 7/31/2016 | 5 | HRT | If you experience itching and irritation where the patch is, squirt a little Flonase (or similar nasal allergy spray) on the area and let dry prior to putting on the patch. I had terrible itching from the patch and this solved the problem for me. | F | 57 | 6 years .0375 2X W | 7/25/2016 |
