I now believe I have cancer. I see the doctor in about a month since she didnt have any openings sooner than that. I want to switch to another med.. any ideas which one has least side effects and risk?

I was having terrible hot flashes, insomnia, and heart palpitations. My doctor prescribed the combipatch for me and it has worked wonderfuly. I do still have some insomnia but i have other health issues that cause that too..

Its .05 patch that I am taking. I just started on Tuesday. I was told to give it a couple weeks to take full effect and side effects that might come as well. I havent had any yet. My night sweats are slowing down Im not up as much at night. Im having some mild hot flashes. Im not as cold as I was before taking Climara. hopefully this will work better for me.
