This question may not belong here, but any perimenopausal women out there use Reminfemin or Black Cohosh to relieve symptoms ??? It says it works for irritability, anxiety, night sweats, etc... also, like other suppliments, takes a while to work. Tried soy, didn't lke it !!! I'm curious..... thought I would ask...any experience with this ???

Hi! Remifemin is Black Cohosh...I took it for a short while and did find some relief starting from night sweats and my depression. It takes a few weeks to work. My doc made me stop it because of other problems I have, but I'd recommend it..Good luck.

If I may ask .... what contraindicated you from taking it ?? It's not suppose to interact with meds and it not suppose to have the "estrogenic" problems sometimes associated with soy as a substitute for HRT. Would just like to know if you would be willing to tell. Thanks for the answer you already gave !!!

Sure, I've been seeking other alternatives to having a hysterectomy because of major bleeding problems...because of this I'm not even suppose to take herbs, soy or even fish oil. It's a drag but I'm trying hard to fight it. I'd still recommend the remifemin. I did feel a difference in a few weeks, nothing that would knock your socks off, but enough that it was better. Good luck.

Thanks so much for your answer. Sorry about the double post... don't know what happened. I'm been on it a week now. I haven't had any problems with it and I feel really OK today. Don't think it works that fast, but night sweats were not present last night !!! Good Luck to you... These female things can be hell to deal with !!!
