My doctor never discussed side effects --just told me "how many marriages it's saved."

My doctor never discussed side effects --just told me "how many marriages it's saved." It's expensive -- it made me feel bloated, with a heavy feeling after taking it -- I didn't notice that much of an effect when I reduced my dose after the first couple of weeks. Research indicates a connection with gall bladder disease even after short-term use -- I ended up in the ER with a spastic, inflamed gall bladder (not gallstones) 2 months after starting this product. Who's to say but I wouldn't be surprised if they were related. No GB symptoms since I stopped taking it and I feel so much better now. I knew from the beginning it didn't agree with me -- wish I'd listened to my body! DHEA, black cohosh, vitex, drinking lots of water and using good old lubricant (Silk is a good brand) are working much better for me. Proceed with caution!

I noticed relief from vaginal dryness right away. The first week I had some headaches and mood changes but that went away. I do experience dizziness and some lightheadedness. I will consult my doctor for that. I use the minimum dosage 1-2x a week.

This med changed so many things for me within the first two weeks I was so amazed. Why didn't someone tell me? If only my doctor had said something. I went for my yearly exam and told my OBGYN how painful sex was for me and I was of course Post Menopausal. Wow did I get an education.

I only regret not knowing all these years and having to think sex was going to be painful for me and was resigned to that. Thanks to this medication I am no longer miserable and back to the old me. I feel normal now.

I use it right before I go to sleep,,,and there is some discharge in the morning..but not enough for me to stop,,,because the benefits are more positive then the the negatives. no bloating, no weight gain..I have moodiness but I am menopausal..so..I can't tell the difference. I just wonder if there are long term side effects from the drug.
