For Postmenopausal Symptoms "53. Feeling human again... no bleeding, breasts have settled down after 3 months, energy level amazing... No hot flashes whatsoever... Weight gain now gone after 3 months... Found it brilliant with my combination of vitamins! Vitamin B, krill oil, vitamin C, magnesium, and several others... also, exercise is so important. Just keep your regular check-ups with your doctor... cheers and enjoy life xxxx"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Helps with hot flashes and night sweats, but I've put on 8 pounds in 3 weeks, freaking me out. Anyone else having this issue? I'm hoping it will level out and I'll go back to my normal weight. I'm a small-framed person and never had this happen so quickly-nothing fits me!"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on Angeliq for now 14 months...within 3 weeks of using this medication...I literally got my life back....I had all the symptoms...hot flushes all night long and around ten throughout the day....no sleep...you know all the crappy symptoms I had. A hysterectomy 6 years ago was only 44 years old...then my life changed for the worst...I put up with all the horrible symptoms...thinking, well, this is life now....out of desperation, went to my doctor and told him I wanted my life back, and he said to try these. They should give me my life back...and he was right....I feel normal for the first time in 5 years....and I even lost 5 kilos....so definitely no weight gain for me on these pills....I know they work for me."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I've tried two other medicines (Pempro and Femhrt) to relieve my hot flashes. Angeliq is the best. It did take a bit longer to start working, but once it started working, I feel great. No weight gain associated with this medicine, unlike the other two. Energy level has also improved."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on Angeliq for about two years. I have picked up about 12 kg of weight in this short time, and I barely eat anything. I still get hot flushes, mainly first thing in the morning. I am suffering from IBS since starting this treatment, and I am bloated, constipated, and dreadfully uncomfortable. I have bad water retention. My body aches perpetually, and I generally feel exhausted and miserable. My hair is falling out by the bucket loads. There must be a better way. I have always been very slim before and could eat mountains of food without putting on any weight at all. This is now affecting my self-esteem."
