Anyone tried Remifemin (black cohosh)?

Bump!

Emily, is the soy supplement still working for you? I'm in a phase now where I have to choose between being cold or having flashes -- every time I put a sweater on or use more than a light blanket on the bed, the internal furnace kicks in. It's getting annoying.

And thanks for this thread!

I actually stopped taking it after I ran out sometime in late summer. The flashes haven't been too bad. I have the same issue, though; if I pull up a blanket on the bed (even if I am cold initially), I quickly get really hot and sweaty. So I mostly just sleep with a sheet -- helps that I am in Mexico for the winter,where it's plenty warm so no blanket is needed! I definitely still have some hot flashes and night sweats, but they are over quickly and not super frequent, so for now I am doing without any medications.

You should consider giving it a try, though...I do think it decreased the frequency for me.
