Menopace ?

Yammy1:
Thank you dancing girl, will try the soya milk, and have a chat with doc

Hurdity:
Hi Yammy1

I agree with Dancinggirl that Menopace and similar products are mainly multi-vitamins and supplements, some with a few phytooestrogens, and that as such the latter only go so far as they are very weak. Re supplements - it is far better to make sure you have an excellent varied fresh diet. It also depends on where you are in menopause and the preparation and dose of HRT you use as to its effectiveness Hope you manage to find some relief, but if your symptoms are interfering with your quality of life and especially if you are under 60, do ask on the main boards if we can help you sort out a suitable HRT type.

All the best :)

Yammy1:
Thank you hurdity, I had hysterectomy in August 2012 so I don't know where I am in meno, I still have ovaries. I'm 53 and don't fancy spending the next 10 years plus on this hormone roller coaster. Will be a couple of weeks before I get to see doc, so I'll have a chat with her about hrt maybe there's an alternative to estradot because I've tried it three or four tones and different strengths and felt worse, more anxious than ever

DaisyB:
Yammy1 - one thing I tried that really worked quickly was red peony- but only for night sweats. I recommended to my cousin and she called me 1 week later to say it was like a miracle it worked so quickly- unfortunately my worst symptom is anxiety and after a bit of a meltdown at beginning of the year I opted for Mirena and estrogel. Just the odd night sweat now x

Tempest:
Well, in desperation I've popped one of these with dinner tonight (I've had a pack in my cupboard for ages).

I couldn't get the blasted newly prescribed patches to stay stuck (and believe me, I tried EVERYTHING). Alternative suggestion was to go back on the Estrogel, which I've tried too many times to count and there are too many peaks and troughs. I'm at a loss!

At least I'll be getting a decent dose of b6 and a bit of magnesium from the Menopace, which I'm hoping will help a tad with the 'coming out of my skin' episodes (I refuse to call them 'anxiety' any more, as they're not. They're completely random and are an adrenal thing, not a psychological thing).

Anything is worth a go, I suppose. God, I HATE menopause (and HRT  that never seems to work)!!!!! :'(
