Climara low dose patch

The night sweats or hot flashes as they call them disturbed my sleep to the point I was useless during the day time.
I concluded that I would take these hormones as I simply had to work at top performance at my job and get things done around the house as well.
I'll deal with the "change" when I am retired and can walk around like a zombie. For now, I have to consider quality of life.
I tried several before Climara and though it is not on my formulary (50.00/month), I take it to live normally.
Now I realize why women my age sometimes can look ravaged.

If verbatim, would go with nitro patch. If not, then nitroglycerine patch nm

The only thing that helped me is HRT (Climara 1/2 strength patches)
The sleep deprivation along with the fuzzy brain feeling was having a detrimental effect on my performance at work. I justified it by the fact I had never taken BCPs during my life. Know I can only take it for 10 yrs but in 10 yrs, maybe I will be able to nap during day time and not have to perform at 98% accuracy lol.
2.5 mg to 5 mg Valium, lower dose by 1/2 tab a day until
you are off. You should have no problems. I went through that after major illness and surgery with no problems whatever. If you do this diligently, stick to your guns, last couple of days do same doses for 2 days rather than 1, then go to every other day, then off, you should be fine with no withdrawal
I used it but it tended to "junk me up" so I took only a tiny dose...sm
for sleep, trazodone is better. It's an old antidepressant that's not really good for anything other than putting you out. However, if you need to wake up in the middle of the night (small children, etc.) you can pop right out of sleep and it doesn't have the hangover effect like benadryl or Xanax. So maybe ask about trying that. And I know, maybe I spelled trazodone wrong but I don't have my spellchecker on this board LOL!
After 15 years of being treated for depression on and off, and severe anxiety, I finally found a wonderful therapist. He got me out of a chronic low grade depression without any antidepressants AT ALL which I would have bet could not be done. So maybe think of that, too?

It definately helped me. From the first dose I took I had no urge at all to smoke.
Unfortunately though I had a bad reaction to the medication and had to stop it after only a few days. I should say though that the reaction I had to the Wellbutrin had absolutely nothing to do with a side effect, but rather it exacerbated a prior medical problem I had. It's definately worth a try IMO.
I also separate with semicolons--allows use of commas where needed within dose instructions. SM
I see the value of stopping each med with a period; but the voice rec programs I've worked with so far have been using commas (or nothing), and breaking the strings up with period+spaces+caps, etc. is much too time consuming. Plus, account instructions typically ask for either numbered lists or comma/semicolons anyway.
Does hormone replacement (specifically low dose Prempro) cause you to gain weight? nm

Thanks, will do that, have some left over from last time we tried to stop. It worked for my husband but not for me, but I am determined to stop now.

I used the nicotine patch -
the last time, my third (and final) quit, in November 1999. Before that I quit 2 other times, the longest was for 4 years, first time cold turkey, second time hypnosis.
My husband, age 61, smoked ever since he was 14 years old and never, ever even tried to quit. Six months ago, he quit cold turkey. Everyone is amazed.
No patch needed (sm)
When you save your document, save as a word 93-2003 document (.doc) rather than a 2007 document (.docx). You can change it in your defaults. Anyone with those prior versions can then open your documents without having to download anything. :)
Birth control patch...
I can't use birth control patches because I have migraines. My doctor will only let me use certain birth control pills, and doesn't really want me using them, but anyway.....
When I worked in-house, patients seemed to like the patch. I do know that the OB/GYN I worked for would not give the patch to overweight women because he said it was not as effective. I would love to be able to use it, as I have trouble remembering to take my pills.
Anyone use the birth control patch?
Just researching a bit. Do you like it? Dislike it? Any other info? Thanks!
There is a patch to help eliminate those problems you
are experiencing with IE7.0. Do you want a link to it? Solved my IE7 problem, but then again, I rarely uses IE, but a different tabbed browser.
Why do you need a patch for express scribe? sm
I have Vista Home Ultimate and Express Scribe V 4.17 and have no problems whatsoever with the software at all.
As a matter of fact, I have had very few compatibility issues with Vista and ANY software I have tried to use -- except Transnet.
Microsoft has a patch for the browser

Lots of people are. Supposedly there is a patch that will
fix issues. Got to MS website for info.
budget busters...patch those holes! =) sm
No, you are NOT the only one...our pockets don't just have holes...
rising costs are ripping GAPING TEARS in our pockets =) But the fact that you're aware of it is a good thing...because you have the ability to mend those tears. I don't know if you use a budget, but if you don't it might help to create one. Having a financial plan and a budget are the "needle and thread" you need to keep your pockets full. (and I bet a LOT of people are just going into more debt rather than adjusting their spending to put a patch on those soaring fuel and food prices.) So...grab your needle and thread...and Happy Sewing...anyone for a Quilting Bee?! =)
Tip: Keep a nicotine 7 mg patch in your wallet at ALL times. If you get strong urge, stick it on an
