Bazedoxifene / conjugated estrogens for Hot Flashes "While Duavee took away my hot flashes after one month, I continued on it for one year and I started having pains in my upper right side. Behind my right ribs, just by the breast area. It continued for a few weeks before I called my doctor, and she took me off the Duavee. I am now on bioidentical estrogen gel and progesterone. I have been off of Duavee exactly one month today. My pain is gone. And a bonus is my blood sugars have dropped over 20 points. I have not changed anything other than going off of the Duavee, my new meds are working great after three weeks! No more hot flashes. (I did get them for three to four weeks until the new meds took effect.)"

For Hot Flashes "The first week I was sleeping 5 hours without waking. Have not slept more than 1 1/2 consecutive hours in years. The hot flashes decreased the first week, had 2 mild episodes the 3rd week and 1 bad episode week 4. My hot flashes would begin at 8:30 pm accompanied by nausea and dizziness and lasting most of every single night. Since being on conjugated estrogen, my bladder is no longer acting out, burning mouth syndrome is 95% gone, my joint pain is gone, leg pain mostly gone, my libido is returning and lady areas are lubricating again. Mood is improved. My situation is tricky as the doctor also found a thyroid issue, and dealing with that level is harder than the perimenopausal symptoms. Yes, I would recommend Duavive."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have had GERD for years, but mild. I started taking DuaVive about 2 months ago, and my GERD has gotten unbearable. I’m feeling sick and in pain 80% of the time. My doctor said it wouldn’t affect my GERD, but in the past 2 months, this medication is the only thing that has changed in my life. Although I love not having hot flashes consistently, I’m going to stop taking DuaVive and hope that gets me my health back, as I can’t live like this. Glad the drug was recalled, and I couldn’t get my prescription refilled, as it got me researching the drug and reading other people’s comments."
