Dr. Tabatha Barber describes how an estradiol patch lifted her depression within hours. She started at 0.025 mg, felt better the same day, and gradually increased to 0.075 mg with sustained improvement in her mood.

I got myself some estrogen. I got an estrogen patch, 0.05mg. I cut it in half because I'm still nervous about my history of estrogen dominance. And I took 0.025 milligram patch. And within that same day of putting it on, I stopped hating my life. I wanted to talk to my husband again. I got off the couch, I added the other half of the patch so I was up to.05 milligrams and I started to feel like myself again. I wasn't depressed. I was talking again. I was interested in life. And I bumped it up again. I added another half of a patch to.075 milligrams and I feel like myself again.
