I had been on Vivelle dot for two years but never felt completely back to normal. Yes, it was an improvement vs. HRT, but even with the highest dosage of the vivelle dot it seemed like I needed more. We switched to climara brand name, not generic and I noticed the patch is much bigger. For me, it has been a miracle patch All the aches and pains that Vivelle dot reduced but never quite took away, Climara took away And it gave me so much more energy and restful sleep. On vivelle dot I was still waking up every hour or so. Even though both the vivelle dot and the Climara are. Climara is stronger and I feel so much better Amazing Anxiety gone, eliminated hot flashes, skin and hair better. Mouth and nasal passages moister. Brain fog gone. However, I need to replace after 4 full days as I start to feel the low estrogen effects creep in and the headaches start. It doesnt last a full week for me. I wish I had switched to Climara sooner instead of wasting two years on the Vivelle dot. F2 months. 1mg 1. X W42. 82. 01. 5 4 Surgical menopsuse. Back pain when I bend down. Legs wobbly in morning.
