I had to do the same and having had a horrific experience before with stopping abruptly, I decided to try something new, I have been on these supplements called Meno complex and I was sceptical at first because I’ve tried some supplements before that didn’t work but these after 4 weeks, I can say they work, I have some hot flushes but nowhere near what they were before, I maybe have 2 a day and some night sweats but manageable, the only thing they don’t help with is vaginal dryness and the pain but otherwise it’s ok, the downside is the cost @ £31 for a month’s supply, it’s not sustainable for me
