"The first couple of weeks I slept like a baby. I still sleep like a baby, only snore like a trucker. I really like how mellow I feel, less moody, overall happier. I started this medication to help with hot flashes. Now I don’t think I have but one a week, it was 2-3 a day. I think it’s really helped with the hot flashes. I’ve experienced some of the side effects: muscle joint pain, breathing heavier than normal, especially when I go to sleep. When I do fall asleep, I sleep like I haven’t slept in decades, oh, that’s because I also have insomnia if I don’t take the medication. Sometimes I take it just to fall asleep. This can’t be good, but what’s worse is my eye twitches like muscle spasms sometimes all day, other times, off and on throughout the day. I’m over the eye twitching. I feel like I’d be better changing my wardrobe and having the hot sweats. Insomnia sucks... So does my eye twitching. I wish I’d never started this medication."

"Three weeks into taking Brisdelle, I stopped. After a week, I was experiencing horrific muscle pain in my legs, which kept me awake for three nights until I was prescribed a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The anti-inflammatory calmed the muscle pain down, but then I started experiencing horrific head pain and headaches; I've never had a headache in my life! I am off this drug for two days now and can't wait to feel like myself again. I'm still experiencing insomnia, headache, head pain, vertigo."

"Holy hell is exactly how I feel. I had been taking Brisdelle for 1.5 years. The hot flashes did indeed subside, however, the side effects of this medicine, coupled with the fact that Noven was acquired by yet another pharmaceutical company - you can't place a rep in the area, distribute your drugs, and then fire her - and not replace, therefore there is no medicine or support here. You dumped this drug in the doctor's hands and walked away. After calling Sebula, you act like you don't even care. You have made it impossible to obtain this. I happen to think this is illegal. I just decided to wean myself off this and Premarin. It has been nothing short of a nightmare. If you don't need this drug, don't start. Seriously."

"Brisdelle - SUCKS - Why prescribe a medication to help you with the hot flashes, YET make you feel miserable (side effect) HEADACHES, nausea, trembling eye, Ewwwww. Really... I'd rather go through the hot flashes. BAD BAD medicine. Also, I was puking up."

"I have been taking Brisdelle for the past 6 months to help with hot flashes. However, I have had these chronic problems since taking this medication. I have tremors, my eyes are sensitive to light, seizures, biting my tongue during the night while sleeping so severely that I have to get up because the blood is so profuse. I also am dizzy all the time and feel like I am whirling around and unstable while sitting, lying down, or walking about. It has taken me almost 2 months and thousands of dollars to figure this out on my own. I have been to the endocrinologist to see if I have a tumor, a neurologist due to the seizures, a dentist, an ENT specialist, a chiropractor, a neuro-ophthalmologist, and my primary care physician, and no one has been able to help me."

"It's surprising to read all these bad reviews, especially those about the terrible side effects. I've had a great experience with Brisdelle - no side effects and a dramatic reduction in the number of hot flashes and the severity. I would estimate an improvement of about 85%. I did gain some weight, but from what I read, the dosage is too low to have a causal effect; probably just part of menopause."

"2 days in and the hot flashes are GONE. After 10 YEARS in which the only thing that worked (and I tried everything under the sun) was HRT. So glad I found paroxetine."

"My hot flashes have reduced tremendously. Initially, I thought it was not working until I stopped taking it. When I went back on the meds, I have been almost normal. I am pleased."

"I took it for 3 days and couldn't get out and about due to dizziness and headache. I feel like a junkie coming off a bad fix. Money wasted!"
