For Postmenopausal Symptoms "So I have been taking Angeliq 1 MG/2 MG tablets for a week now for vaginal dryness and low libido. I went through menopause and had 2 very bad months of night sweats/hot flashes and depression, but that all went away months ago. Since starting Angeliq 1 week ago, the night sweats are back with a vengeance. I know this is a very short time and I should wait to see if anything improves, but everything seems to be going in reverse, not getting better. Has anyone experienced this?"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have just about every menopausal symptom listed, and it makes my life extremely difficult. Sweats, mood changes, muscle pains, depression, general irritability, you name it, I have it. I was on Angeliq for 2 months and felt tremendous relief after 15 days. I did a BP checkup once and had a slightly increased BP (140/100), got afraid and stopped (BP could have gone up for 1000 various reasons, right). All the symptoms came back within 5 days, with vengeance. I have been consuming large amounts of soy, maca powder, linseed oil, as well as started a raw food diet. Nothing helped, not even a slight bit. I decided to go back on Angeliq as soon as possible, my checkup is OK. Really helpful medication."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on Angeliq for 10 years post-vaginal hysterectomy and ovary removal. As this medication is unavailable in Australia at the moment, my GP has recommended I come off it. I have been off for 16 days, I feel okay, but I am feeling rather teary and down. Is this normal, and has anyone else experienced it? Also waking up with mild night sweats. Will all this subside when hormones settle down?"
