I tried black cohosh and it did nothing for me. YMMV on that. I'm going to talk to my doctor about HRT this month. I'm over all of this.


Are you in menopause, or peri?


It officially became menopause last September.

Orders soybeans now. Worth a shot!

45 with full on sweaty hotflashes. They are worse when I drink caffeine but i can’t function without caffeine as I am dependent on it while raising young kids.

I think diet can help hotflashes to a degree.

Does anyone take black cohosh AND HRT?


When I was on the patch, I sometimes would get night flashes if I had been drinking at dinner.
But not enough to up my dose. A cold gel pack under my pillowcase helped. Eventually these stopped as my body adjusted. I was in full menopause.

I started getting hot flashes once I was on Tamoxofin for bc so HRT not an option.

Love hearing options
