Have been on minivelle .5 patch for about 6 weeks. no night sweats but severe anxiety and panic attacks. could the patch cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It's possible that the Minivelle patch can cause anxiety as a side effect. Discuss with prescribing doctor and ask for advice re dose change or alternative med. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
