Does Amberen work for post menopausal women?
228763
I am 61 yrs. old and have been taking amberen for 22 days. I wanted something to help me loose weight; instead I have gained 7 lbs. and now I have occasional night sweats which is weird because I am post menopausal and haven't had night sweats for a long time. I started my perimenopause when I was about 47. I am experiencing less insomnia though, but I don't know if it is related to amberen.

I am 64 years old and tried Amberen because I have vaginal dryness. To be honest, it has totally helped me in that area and I no longer have to use any other creams. Also I am sleeping better at night. I have been on it for almost 2 months. I do get an occasional hot flash, but it's worth it to have the other 2 issues addressed.

No, there is not. This is an herbal based cream. These particular herbs traditionally have been found to bring relief to suffers of menopause symptoms. Well, if it is only psychological, it works for me.

Yes, I have used both Phytoestrogen & Pro-Gest together. My results have been great. Hope this helps you...

Hi Caroline, that depends on who you believe. There are those who think that paraben are harmful to us. There are just as many experts who think otherwise. Truth is, the jury is still out with the scientific community. (You can find arguments for and against all over the Internet) But both these products have been effective for me, helping me with menopausal symptoms. You decide.

I had menopause that made it difficult for me to function! My regular obgyn knew of these kinds of products but not enough to feel comfortable prescribing. So, I found an excellent doctor who is an MD but also a PhD who did all of the test. Initially Dr Blackmun gave me bio-identical prescription cremes that I had filled at a special pharmacy. These initial formulas were much stronger than these over the counter products. But after about a year, I "graduated" to these over the counter products and they work for me. BUT, I would really want to know my hormone levels before using products. these are very powerful and do work! Good luck!! I had menopause that made it difficult for me to function!

I never tried "now food" type but Mendapause has relived my hot flashes during the night and bloating. I have used it for several months except one time I delayed in ordering it. To my amazement my hot flashes started as soon a I started to take it again they went away.

I am a woman. I used it, but without a doctor recommendation. It worked but caused me some problems. You need to know if your levels are low and how low.

1500 MG or two of these are the recommended dosage for post-menopausal women.

I'm sorry, I do not know the answer to your question. I am a woman and it definitely works for me

Absolutely none. Neither did it help hot flashes or sleeplessness. It was a total waste of time and money. I'm so disappointed, I really thought this one might be the answer to all my suffering/issues.

I do not know the answer. I do know this, it has made a huge difference in my negative symptoms of peri menopause.

Yes. I have been very pleased with them. They have helped with my hot flashes. No stomach problems.

No. If you want to stop hot flashes and night sweats, this product really does work. If you want to lose weight, you need to do so through diet and exercise. This product says "weight management," meaning that it has an appetite suppressant in it to help you eat less. It did not work for me, but I've only gained about five pounds, so I can work it off. Please do not purchase this, or any other product, believing that you will lose weight by popping a magic pill. It just doesn't work that way. That said, if you are seeking relief from uncomfortable menopause symptoms, two thumbs up!

A second vote for Dr. Lee's book, WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT MENOPAUSE (OR PERI-MENOPAUSE). DR. Lee states there is no reason to use estriol, unless you have symptoms indicating use. My syptoms are that of Vaginal Atrophy. Otherwise Progesterone is the one that I would be using, solo. Because of VAtrophy issues, I use both and will test in three months via saliva testing. It is important to never use estrogen products on their own ( unopposed , because you don't want to become estrogen dominant.

I use progesterone cream for 14 days each month and have no menopause symptoms. I thought this was worth a try and it is not expensive and so far so good. Hope this helps.

I have used Progestelle intermittently, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. I have, however, been on Premarin for quite a few years. After I got in my 50's, I decided to quit because I was tired of still having periods. It took at least six months or more for my periods to stop, but because I was not taking HRT, my hot flashes and acne reappeared. As for your own personal symptoms, I would recommend getting with a physician who is trained in hormone balances. Go to the BodyLogicMD or Zone Diet websites for info on getting your hormones tested. Good Luck!
