Can I cut my HRT patch in half ?

Posted , 8 users are following.

I’m going cuckoo today at my wits end !!! Only 4 weeks on the patch and although it’s lifted my fatigue and dizziness I have terrible depression now. 

Is it too strong for me ? Should I cut it in half ? I  am very sensitive to medications .

The weeks months are passing by ... can’t make any plans for travel or anything fun as cannot chance travelling feeling dizzy or extremely exhausted.

    I have been trying different HRT for 18 month now for my early menopause . i also find the mental side effects really bad, so much worse than my menopause issues. I can never work out if the estrogen or the progesterone.

    How long did take to find the right medication?
