Comment:
I have taken this drug for probably close to 10 years. For the last few months began not feeling well. Lots of anxiety and some minor hot flashes at night. Went into dr for anxiety and had blood test done showing my body was no longer absorbing the estrogen. My level were as low as without any hormone treatment. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I have been on this medication for one week with little to no improvements to my hot flashes. The night sweats actually seem to be worse. I am just wondering how long it takes for this medication to "kick in". Will continue for another week but if no improvement will call Doctor.

I GUESS THAT'S NOT A BAD TRADE OFF TO GET RID OF THE HOT FLASHES

I ran out of my prescription and have been off this for over a week. The last 9 months I have been very moody and irritated. Quick to anger specifically to my husband. The last week I have been so calm and loving. I feel like myself again. I am in the beginning stages of menopause, maybe 1-2 periods a year at the most. My doctor decided I needed to be on this at the beginning of the year
