Comment:
This has eased all my menopause symptoms except for mood issues. Also, I have started spotting, and my chest has broken out in acne that is very stubborn.

I have been taking this drug for 6 months. No more hot flashes. My mood has improved and my hair stopped falling out. Was very hungry when I first started taking it, but that was only in the first few weeks. I am very happy with it so far.

This RX has been a lifesaver.. I was having hot flashes ever hour and 45 minutes and couldn't sleep at night. Now I have zero hot flashes and can sleep again.
