Comment:
My hot flashes disappeared within the first week of taking it; i was able to sleep thru. the night. Brisdelle helps me w/my anxiety and mild depression. I take the pill 5 hours before bed time and so i have no problem to get up in the morning to go to work. I feel tired w/this med but i keep up my exercise; so far my weight stays the same. I am on my third month and will continue taking Brisdelle
