Amberen Tracking Order Status

My daily hot flashes stopped two days after I began taking Amberen and I haven't had one since. I have energy and my mood has improved. I thought I was going crazy with menopause and now I feel I am back to my old self. No side affects.

I have tried numerous menopausal treatments, OTC and prescription estradiol patches. They all made me bloated, gave me migraines and swell up. The Amberen works by causing your brain to fix (balance) your own hormones. Ive read other women reporting mood issues and bloat and it may be bringing cycles back on line and we feel hormonal changes. I did have issues with the Amberen early on, which I expected from other reviews, but this was my last hope and I was determined to try it. I started out taking it once every 3 days for a week and a half, then once every two days for a week and a half, then every day; making sure I stayed hydrated really well so the MSG and hormonal changes wouldn't bother me. I started out with bad headaches and skin burning on my upper lip and arm (I had headaches with the other stuff too) but as I desensitized to the supplement they got less and less and after a month I started feeling great. Drinking water always helps flush out toxins and extra hormones when we feel irritated. Walking 20-30 minutes most days helps with hot flashes no matter what you're taking. My hormones are now not in perpetual PMS all the time. I have more energy and less food sensitivities and cravings, I even had my first glass of wine in ages without flaring. My stomach is not bloated anymore, even if I eat bread, and I am now able to do floor exercises again and walk on the treadmill without shortness of breath. I don't care if I start having cycles again, I feel so much better and my hot flashes went from 5 an hour to 5 a day and mostly only at night. Just give it time and start slow. The headaches, I believe, were from hormonal changes with all the treatments I tried, but they got better with hydration and ibuprofen and I eventually stopped getting them as my hormones started balancing out. I'm only on week 5 and read that it can take up to 12 weeks to fully work.

I have 5 days left of my 30 day supply and wondering if this is what's causing my suddenly very depressed mood. I do take antidepressants that have controlled my depression up until now. The first few days I started taking this i felt pretty good, less irritable and no night sweats. Maybe it was a placebo effect? I felt fine until yesterday. I'm 44 and started getting peri-menopause symptoms last year -- hot flashes and night sweats mainly. I was hoping this would help me delay menopause for a little while. I haven't had a period since February/March. I'm going to stop taking this for a few days and see what happens. I hate going to the doctor but I think I should have talked to one before taking this.

Been on this for 3 weeks. It did stop hot flashes pretty much at night. Other than that I have felt extremely bloated (look 9 weeks pregnant) with horrible gas and constipated since taking it. I've also been getting headaches every day that nothing relieves. I have been extremely tired to the point of falling asleep at my desk or at a red light starting about 2 in the afternoon...it only started since taking this.

Since starting was excited. This is my 3rd product to combat tired and hot flashes. I’m even more tired, have become irritable and extreme painful abdominal pain with gas. Not good for my IBS.
