I am 48 and have already reached menopause: over a year without a period, night sweats, hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, etc. The worst part of it is the forgetfulness/confusion, irritability/mood swings, (okay, it's more like I grew a 2nd head and started breathing fire!!). And NO SEX DRIVE! (My poor fiancee!)
I don't even recognize myself anymore... I used to be fun, fairly articulate and fit with a healthy libido.
If anyone has any words of wisdom, I'm listeneing ! Thanks, CrazyJane

I read that Macafem is good for sex drive.

I'm 41 now and have been surgically menopaused since I was 26 and have tried HRT and other natural remedies. Macafem is fine for me so far as I've been on it for several months now but I still get the hot flushes and headaches occasionally. And yes, I have noticed an improvement in my sex drive as well as lesser vaginal dryness. I'm looking for a product that would have this effect and address my other symptoms better.

Hello, why don’t you try Menoquil? I studied thoroughly about this supplement and found to be effective. I hope this supplement will help you to solve your all the issues. This supplement consists of several natural ingredients such as Dong quai, green tea leaf extract, black cohosh, vitamin D and more. All these ingredients help to improve almost all menopausal problems. Please read all the reviews and ingredient facts before purchasing it. Best luck!

Hi everyone -
May 17, 2010 - 6:23amAfter a year, I stopped taking my bio-identical hormones. My hair won't stop falling out and I'm starting to gain more weight. I just started doing some research and found Menoquil, Menersa and Amberen. I am calling my doctor this morning to ask some questions. Thank goodness my hair stopped falling out - even my hairdresser noticed the thinning. Can either of you please give me an update on your progress - thanks!

Johannes,
Please let us know what you hear from your doctor on Menoquil, Menersa and Amberen! So many women are dealing with the same issues you are. Symptoms like weight gain and hair loss are disheartening to say the least. I'll be really interested to hear what you find out.
And could you tell us why you stopped taking the bio-identicals after a year?

Crazy Jane,
March 13, 2010 - 7:36amI am almost 48, and had my last period when I turned 45. I have been going nuts with hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, memory probs, weight gain, and just general "malaise.". I have been very stressed with work, we own our own company,and I passed alot of the anxiety, fatigue, etc. off on that. I heard a radio commercial for Amberen one week ago, and decided to order it on the spot. I have been taking it for four days now, and boy what a difference!!! I am sleeping much better, and my "mood" is brighter! I am not an Amberen rep, I am just a customer. I can honestly say that with 4 days of normal (one white one orange pill a day) I feel so much better!!! I can even use my covers on my bed now! I know each of us women are different, but I recommend this product very highly.
