    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 ... Show Full Comment

After ... Show Full Comment

    I had terrible night sweats, having to change 2-3 times per night and averaging 4 hours sleep per night. After taking Brisdelle for 6 weeks my night sweats improved significantly. Now having taken it for 6 months they have dramatically improved. As have my moods, much more even and not so many swings or intense emotions. I highly recommend this drug. It can be costly and a friend of mine is achiev ... Show Full Comment
