Take It With Caution! -
Mary C Mixon on Oct 19, 2011
Mendapause seemed to work for me the first week or so after I started taking it. I am taking it particularly to stop my hot flashes. The hot flashes improved greatly shortly after I started the product. I thought, "At last!" Then the stomach problems and headaches started. Within a short time of taking the capsule, I start to taste the sage (which I really don't like), then the gas and bloating starts; a headache usually follows. The recommended dosage is one capsule in the morning and one at night. Since I can't work at my job with all the gas issues, I've stopped taking it in the morning. The one capsule at night doesn't seem be enough to control my hot flashes. They've started back again, though I think they are marginally not as severe as before. I'm probably not going to buy another bottle since the side effects are too hard to handle. I'm just trading one problem for three others - it's not worth it! I'll have to go on to the next product in hopes that I'll eventually find something that works. Either that or just wait for the hot flashes to stop on their own!
