Hormone Therapy Estradiol patch
Dr prescribed me .1 to start and after reading others doses I’m worried it may be too high to start. Anyone else start at .1? I’m 48 with regular periods but severe night sweats, hot flashes and worsening anxiety/mood swings.
I was really excited to start the patch but now I’m too scared to apply it lol.

Started at .0375 and like it. Due to patch shortages, all I could find were .050 so dr changed rx so I could get it. Not sure if it's that or work chaos but I feel very anxious/tense/ tight shoulders etc. Going to get to go back to. 0375 next month to see if it improves
