postmenopausal symptoms
"I was caught in a vicious cycle of soaking wet hot flash after soaking wet hot flash which caused me to become agitated which caused my heart to race ALL NIGHT LONG which then caused me to be irritable and I could barely focus during the day.  My doctor started me on the estradiol patch .05 mg and within a few days I felt like a new person.  I now go through the entire night maybe one minor hot flash and the resulting anxiety is gone.  I sleep now better than I ever have.  The only side effect I have noticed is that my breasts are a little tender but not enough to make me stop.  If I wind up gaining a few pounds who cares I am a human being again."
