Been taking for over 40 years since total hysterectomy at age 40- I have reduced dosage over the years but it continues to keep me from having hot flashes and improves my overall well being with NO bad side effects.

Comment:
After a total hysterectomy (includes ovaries) I tried other HRT but always had side effects. Since taking menest (now in my 8th year) I have not experienced the mood swings, sweats, or crying episodes that seemed to be associated with the loss of natural hormones.

Comment:
Has helped thinking, overall mental stability. Increase sex drive again, tenderness in breast. Has caused higher blood sugar readings, resulting in higher insulin usage. More frequent urination. But when weighing mental to physical control it is worth it.
