Vivelle and vivelle dot

I had a hysterectomy and developed nightsweats and hot flashes. The doctor gave me the Vivelle patch and I was fine for 3 months. I took it off for about 4 months until the hot flashes returned. I went back on it for a month and out of no where I started to have mini black outs. I also had neck pain, numbness and a dull headache. I was rushed to the ER after an episode and was checked out from head to toe. They could not find anything wrong with me. I had put a new patch on one day and noticed the symptoms getting worse. I have taken it off since and everyday feel better. The doctor's are not convinced it is the patch but I know my body and feel it is the cause of all my symptoms.

39 year complete hysterectomy 4 years ago, bodybuilder usiing vivelle dot.. need help with fluid retention and weight gain.

I have been on the vivelle dot .05 for only 1 month - It seemed like the answer to my prayers until 3 days ago when I started suffering the worst vertigo possible. I have been unable to function at home or at work, mainly confined to bed. I can't sit up or turn my head from side to side without the room spinning around. It is horrible - I have removed the patch and wondering how long will this take to get out of my system.

I have been using vivelle dot for a few months now. It has completely relieved my hot flashes but I am unable to have orgasms now. Could this possibly be a side effect of vivelle? Maybe the dose is too high?
