Hi
Thanks for the info,I don't want to take HRT and my GP didn't really recommend it so thats why I'm trying alternatives

😄 don't worry I was going to try this for a month,then if it doesn't make any difference I will try the St. John's wort,interestingly I found a supplement yesterday that contained Black Cohosh and St Johns Wort so at least I know they are safe to be taken at the same time

Hi thanks for the info,I think I will give it a try,I didn't realise you could just take it as and when needed,I thought it was a one day thing,I bought one box so think I might give it the 30 days and see what happens,I'm also considering St Johns Wort to see if that will stabilise my mood

It's not recommended for more than six months but I certainly don't take it for more than two months at a go. By then you should know if it is helping anyway.

I'm just going to take it for the month the packet will last, interestingly I haven't had a hot flush for a couple of days but I'm putting that down to the placebo effect 😀which I personally am willing to call a success so long as I feel slightly more human 😄
