Evorel Conti - when will it start working? I'm desperate!

I have been having debilitating hot flushes for 3 years now (last period March 2015) and finally decided that I couldn't carry on, so went to my GP. He prescribed me Evorel Conti patches and I am now into the third week of taking them. I feel terrible! Is this normal?

The flushes have gone and I am so grateful to feel cold again, but I am very tearful and seem to spend most of my time feeling very angry, irritable and unhappy. It's like the worst kind of PMT. I'm willing to put up with it if these feelings will settle down. Or do I need to change to a different patch? Any help gratefully received!

    I currently take Evorel 50 patches and the 50 is the strength but I've recently had them changed to the 75 strength as I'm still getting hot flushes. try taking some primrose oil capsules see if those lift your moods
