It makes me moody. I have no patience. I used to be very patient. I have gained weight, my legs when I am in bed cramp if I stretch. My breathing is a little labored.

I had been using an estradiol-only patch along with topical progesterone for nearly two years to relieve menopausal hot flashes but switched to an eastradiol/norethindrone combi patch. Quite suddenly I developed side effects, most notably a very uncomfortable pressure feeling all over my body, weird woozy feeling like I was high, and a significant temple headache. I removed the patch and approximately 3 hours later I was symptom-free. The next day I spotted. I applied the patch again several days later and was confronted with the exact same side effects. I've gone back to my old treatment. I never used birth control pills, this is the first time I've used a synthetic hormone. I guess I didn't tolerate it very well.

Norethindrone has regulated my menstral cycles to normal lengths of time. However I have added 15lbs of weight since I began taking. (about 40-45 days ago) Extreme bloating has occured since using Norethindrone. Is there an altenative to this drug that will not cause the above side effects
