Anyone using the Vivelle patch?

Hi I was wondering how well it works and did you have any side effects? I am being prescribed it, and was curious. I am using Premarin cream for dryness and pain with sex and it is working great. Thanks...Lisa

I am on Vivelle patch .1 -love it - haven't had ANY side effects - feel great - still early on though, but hope it continues. I looked into it a lot and it seems to be pretty well-liked.

Hi Lisa!

I have been using Vivelle Dot 0.1 for years. It's a good match for me. I don't have any side effects or symptoms.

Good luck! I hope it works as well for you.

Thanks ladies for your replies....I am hoping it works well for me too. I will let you know.

I just started the 0.1 dosage patch. I had been using estrogel at one pump per day. It worked for a while, then I found myself getting hot flashes again and increased the estrogel with two pumps per day. It worked better, but still experiencing hot-well kinda warm flashes. I like the vivelle but I am already having problems with it starting to peel off around the edges. I feel like I could use more estrogen but I am at the highest vivelle dose.
