For Hot Flashes "I started with horrific hot flashes, sweating all night, no sleep. Sweating in meetings, going out. Couldn't wear any makeup. I started taking Brisdelle about 6 months ago. I did my research. This medication is a lifesaver. It's expensive as hell, I found a coupon for it, and I only pay a quarter of what it costs. There was someone saying how terrific the withdrawal symptoms are, you need to be weaned off. Not every medicine you can just stop cold turkey. Read all inserts of medicines you are prescribed. Some meds take a while to get over side effects. This has been a lifesaver."

For Hot Flashes "Only took one dose. Achy the next morning. 22 hrs after dose, dizziness and weakness. My husband could barely get a BP on me, and when my pulse came up enough to register, it was only 54. I vomited, then sweat profusely. My knees hurt severely for an hour. Hot flashes were diminished for the next 3 days. Fine now, but still having hot flashes."

For Hot Flashes "I have been taking it for 2 weeks now. I do believe it's helping me. I will post again in about 6 weeks. Typically, I get a rush of heat over me a few times a day, leaving me with a drenched head and droplets of sweat on my face, neck. Now, so far so good."

For Hot Flashes "I took it for 3 months straight. During the 1st month, my hot flashes reduced. By month 3, it seemed like it wasn't helping with the hot flashes much, but I noticed a positive side effect. My overall outlook on life was so much better. Little things that once got on my nerves slid off my back like a duck's. I asked for something different (grass is greener syndrome) because I wanted more. More hot flash reduction, less anxiety. When I stopped, I realized I'd made a terrible mistake. It's been 2 weeks, and I'm ready to kill somebody. Moody? Yes. Irritable? Yes. Sweating profusely? Yes. I'm getting back on it today!"
