For Hot Flashes "I took the medication for two weeks and it worked like a charm. However, I started to experience extreme pain in my joints (knees, ankles, wrist). Not sure if it is associated with the medicine, but I didn't have all of the aches until I started. I love how the medicine mellowed me out, no anxiety or frustration over little things. Hot flashes are at a minimum. Hope it makes it because I would like to continue taking it."

For Hot Flashes "I have been on this for 2 months. It has worked very well for my hot flashes and night sweats. I have noticed dry mouth and some headaches and some joint pain in my fingers, but that pain goes away during the day. It's worth it though, so I can sleep at night without being hot and cold all night and day long. I just drink more water."

For Hot Flashes "I have been taking Brisdelle for 1 year. Hot flashes are mostly gone, I have one occasionally, usually in the morning. I ran out, and my doctor had written a prescription for 1 year. I had to call and wait 4 days for the refill. Holy cow, was I miserable, and within 2 days, the flashes were back full force. I am back on it. I do have joint pain in my ankles in the morning, not sure if it's the drug or not, but interesting others have the joint pain. I also am struggling to lose weight when it used to be so easy, Brisdelle to blame, or menopause, or both. It's a good drug and does what it says for me. I will continue taking it. By the way, I have a coupon from their website and only pay $25 a month for it. It is costly with no coupon."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on Brisdelle for 3 years now. At first, it was the wonder drug, hot flashes gone, and I didn't want to kill anybody. But now I think it's not working as well. But I decided to look up the side effects recently and found out I have a lot of it: the blurred vision (fog), frequent bowel movements, headaches, and joint pain. Well, my doctor is taking me off of it."
