Got this product well over a year ago now when I had the worst pains you could imagine…it definitely helped although I still have a few symptoms. I would reccomend it though as even though it hasn’t fixed my problems completely, its much better now

THis has worked excellently! I was so surprised with how well it actually worked!! I felt a bit funny the first week I took it, had some dizziness but I don’t think it was related. My hot flushes are now gone! completely!

A friend told me about amberen. It didn’t do very much for me but she swears by it, so mixed results. I guess you only know by trying it.

I was on HRT and was seeing some improvements in certain areas but the side effects that I was experiencing were awful and I had to stop. My phsycian was less than helpful but I found Amberen online and gave it a shot. It has worked much better than the HRT ever did. No weird side effects and I’m feeling much better after 6 months.

After using it for 10 days, I started sleeping all the way through the night again. I also felt more like myself and haven’t experienced the level of mood swings or hot flashes as before. I’m sold. I’m a little concerned what will happen when I go off the 3 month trial for a while (as they suggest).

They suggest if two pills don’t work, to try 4. I didn’t have to, but maybe those that had difficulty should try the 4-per day thing. All I can say is I know it worked for me. (I am not affiliated in anyway with their business).

I never had any PMS or even cramps when I was younger, and I’ve been lucky that my menopause symptoms were not that bad either. The only one I seem to have is hot flashes and even they are fairly mild. In the beginning, I had enough of them to want to find something for relief so I turned to Black Cohosh and within 2 – 3 days, I stopped having any hot flashes. My libido is fairly low which I don’t like so I decided to try Amberen to see if it would help with that. I took it for 30 days and saw no change in my interest in sex and it actually made my hot flashes return. I have since stopped taking the Amberen and am back to having no flashes.

I have experienced signigicant perimenimenopausal and menopause symptoms for the past several years. Specific concerns included excessive bleeding over a period of months (had EA surgery) and more recently extreme hot flashes. These symptoms were negatively interfering with my professional and personal life. I did not want to go the HRT route, so I did some research on the internet to determine the best course of action to take. I ordered Ambreren out of desperation thinking anything would be better than nothing. I couldn’t wait to take the first set of capsules. I noticed improvement after only 3 days. After 7 days the improvement has been so significant that I hesitate to stop taking it after three months as instructed. My hot flashes are down to 2-3 per day and my nights are not interrupted. Even my mood and emotions seem more regulated. I am sold!! You should give this product at try if you are miserable and want relief. It’s the best product I have purchased in a very long time.

I’m 40-years old and am already pre-menopausal. I have been experiencing years of depression, mood swings and out burst of anger on a regular basis over small things. I have been on 150 mg of anti-depressants for the past 6-years and still have been experiencing symptoms of depression. When the Dr. explained that I was pre-menopausal about 2-months ago I began looking for something that was all natural to help. I came across Amberen and have been taking it for 20-days now. This has been heaven sent for me! I can’t remember the last time I have felt so good! I feel like a whole different person. I’m happy, patient and experience little anger. I used to cry on a daily basis – now nothing seems to bring me to tears. I know this sounds unbelievable since its only been 20-days, but I’m sold. I was also experiencing so many hot flashes at night that I got very little sleep. In the last two weeks I sleep so peacefully without waking up to miserable hot flashes. Amberen has worked for me!

I took Amberen about 6 months ago for 2 months. My symptoms disappeared. No more hot flashes, I was able to sleep through the night, my mind was clear. It didn’t really help much with sex drive and I didn’t loose any weight. I have been symptom free for 4 or 5 months, but have started having symptoms again. I will be starting with the third month supply that I have and will be ordering more as soon as I find out if there are any problems with taking it with cholesterol meds. I am normally very sceptical of these kinds of claims and the price seemed high, but now that my symptoms are returning I believe it is well worth the cost for the relief I had!! It worked for me!

This is my 11th day on Amberen. I had a complete hystrectomy at 27. Nothing has helped the terrible symptoms I had. Depression, insomnia, hot flashes etc…Amberen has really helped me. Im very sceptical of “new fix all pills” but Amberen has truly helped and Im hoping that I continue to improve as I complete my 90 days.

I am into my third week of taking Amberen. I am pre-menopausal and only had a few night sweats; no day time hot flashes at all. Being the pro-active person that I am, I wanted to nip it in the bud so I tried Amberen. My night sweats are out of control and now I have many daytime hot flashes! This is scary. the company told me to double the dose – why would I want to do that? Any thoughts. should I hang in there?

I have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome about 4 years ago. For those who are not familiar with this condition, it meant not having regular menstrual cycles. I was only 30 when my period started becoming irregular. It got to a point when I would be very fortunate if I get 2 menstrual cycles for an entire year. Might sound good for some but the bottom line is, not for me. The lining of my endometrium started thickening. My doctor placed me on HRT even though I am not completely sold on the idea being that my family have history of cancers. My doctor believes that this is the only way to reverse the thickening. He was afraid that if we do not start HRT, the thickening could lead to tumor and then cancer. I stopped HRT as soon as my pap was back to normal. Started looking for natural options and this is when I stumbled on Amberen. I am only on my 4th day but very excited to report that the night sweats has stopped! It stopped on the very first day I took it. And another funny thing is, I feel like a teenager, my appetite is back and feel hungry all the time.

I purchased Amberen to deal with menopause symptoms. At first I took the minimum dosage. When that did not help to alleviate my symptoms I increased to the maximum dosage. This also did nothing to help with the hot flashes and night sweats. I consider my purchase to be $100 thrown down the drain.

I had a complete hysterectomy in February 2010 and had night sweats, mood swings and could not sleep. I purchased Amberen and took it for two weeks with no results doubled up on the pills and then I had headaches on top of the other symptoms … so I had to stop. I did find that Amberen does have a small amount of MSG so maybe that is what caused the headaches….had to return the pills. Good luck to you all! I am still searching….

Having had fairly intense menopausal symptoms that were reasonably well treated by natural meds (Soy isoflavones, black cohosh, etc – on all the advice of my physician, by the way) but unhappy with the weight gain that comes with the black cohosh, I added Amberen to the regimen based on their advertisement that it does impact weight. There was no appreciable improvement on any of my symptoms, and, despite the advertisements to the contrary, there was no effect on my weight gain. Given the exceptionally high cost and the relatively low level of effect, I would recommend that other women consult with their physicians/ health practitioners first about good natural alternatives / exercise programs / diets that are readily available before opting for this expensive and not too effective choice.

I had hot flashes (and anxiety, just before and during the hot flashes), it was fairly frequent, although probably not a 10 by any means, but the frequent repetitiveness of these feelings, at any moment during the day (and at night as well) was really starting to take a toll on my energy and emotions. I have three boys, homeschooling one in H.S., and the other two are 13 years old (twins) with a lot of energy, in addition I have to take my mom to several appointments a week, take care of her finances as well as ours, etc. I was wishing I had had kids at an earlier age (I’m 51), as these symptoms and emotional results were really taking a toll on my attitude at home with everyone. I will not take HRT and don’t like the idea of so many side effects on much of the medication out there. So I went online to read about possible natural solutions (my dad got his PSA count for cancer way down to a safe point, by natural means/and diet). I truly believe that natural solutions are like medication, you have to find the right treatment for the individual, everyone is different, even with prescription drugs.
Anyway, with the Amberen my hot flashes were almost completely gone, and my anxiety attacks were gone completely. After ending my first 90 days, I did have one very heavy menstrual period for 5 days, just after completely the 90 days. After 2 months of being off the Amberen I have had small amounts of hot flashes and anxiety return some, but not like before the Amberen. I just started back on it for 30 days so far, and have begun taking 4 pills (only took 2 pills for 90 days the first time around). For some reason it seems like I need the 4 pills this time, as I’ve really noticed all symptoms have almost completely disappeared after adding two add’l pills( on about the 26th day of taking 2 pills). I don’t know if the effects were lessened, the second round of 90 days, taking these pills or if my symptoms were getting more severe….all I do know is that the Amberen has made a total difference in my overall well being, and I feel SO much better with reduced symptoms that almost have disappeared! Thank you! No side effects either!

I am one of those people that don’t believe or trust most of the advertisements out there.
Because my poor husband ha been living with a wife that is going through major mood swings, depression,lack of interest,lack of sleep,irregular bad periods,weight gain and no sex drive came home one. day and told that he heard a radio commercial about amberen. Being one of those people that don’t believe in much it took him a couple of days to convince me to at least read about the product I took a look at it and told my husband (to good to be true). My husband look at me and said (try it it’s only 7.99 for a trial and at this point you don’t have much to loose and everything to gain by trying the product ). Well I am going on the second month using the product don’t know what’s in but I feel 50% better already thanks to Amberen.

I am 50 years old, have had hot flashes, mood swings that just drive me crazy. Weight gain has been the problem since all this started about 5 years ago. I don’t like the way that I am feeling. I do have pre-menopausal symptoms I want to feel better. I was on Estrace, for awhile and really found that it helped for awhile then it seemed to stop working.. So my question is all of you that have taken it, do you think that this is something that might work for me… I need something to help me feel better. Is this the answer?

Time August 19, 2010 at 7:36 pm

I had extreme hot flashes and I ordered Amberen out of desperation because I couldn’t get an appt with my obgyn.
The first 3 weeks I took them about 9:00am in the morning they worked like a charm. No hot flashes whatsoever; I slept like a baby. The I was on vacation and one morning i forgot to take it. Of course a hot flash at lunch time reminded me of it. I took the pills immediately but in vain. From that point on they didn’t work anymore.
So my take is as long as one takes them at the same time every day they will work, just like they say in the prospect.
But don’t you dare take them at different hours because you will pay the price.
Luckily my obgyn put me on HRT.

I’m 54 years old and had a hysterectomy 15 years ago and have taken hrt since. I wanted to get off the hrt. Tried Amberen for 2 weeks…saw no improvement in any symptoms. The crazy way it made my head feel is why I stopped. I had all day headaches. I was nervous and had increased heart rate from time to time. I feel much better without it! So far I haven’t returned to the hrt.

After many wrestless nights, with on/off again hot flashes, which now were interrupting my days (making me crazy) , I found Amberen on line. I refused to take any bio anything, or pharma, so I gave it a try.
About 7 days in, I realized that I had slept through the night, with maybe only one interruption and that during the day, I noticed less hot flashes. Then, about day 8 or 9 all symptoms are gone and my libido has turned on again!! No more day or night flashes, period. I am sold and have been sharing it with all of my friends! I am not a regular breakfast eater, but I do faithfully take Amberen after my first meal mid-morning. I’m about 35 days into the 90 day plan and can’t say more positive about the plan.
Ladies, everything in life is up to you…

I was early into menopause but was tired of turning bright red and sweaty ( my 8 year-old students wanted to join in my fanning myself)
and waking up several times a night.
I did tons of on-line research, bought Amberen and am quite happy I did. Two weeks later I am down to a couple of warm flashes ( little sweat and my face stays white) a day and no night sweats.

I am on my 4th week with Amberen and really haven’t noticed any change between taking this and taking Black Cohash. My girlfriend swore by it but after being symptom free for 30 days, her hot flashes re-occured and she is back on the Amberen. I bought a 90 day supply and really am not happy with the results I had and will be going back to the Black Cohash and upping my dosage on them.

Not good…….I was on Amberen for a total of 3-4 weeks. I had extreme hot flashes which produced sweating every 45 minutes to 1.5 hours all day and into the evening. After 3weeks, I decided to try the double dose method. Nothing happened. Amberen does not work. FYI, there is nothing natural about any of the ingredients. Not worth taking…….Don’t waste your money!!

Severe hot flashes led me to try Amberen although I knew no one who had taken it. After one week I developed a rash on the upper part of my body which could only be due to the Amberen. I returned the unused portion as directed and now find that the company has still charged me for the product. I am not looking forward to the hoops I will have to jump through to get my money back. Beware of Amberen!!!

Hi, I have tried EVERYTHING that is out there for the last 7 years, this is the first time that I have been without any hot flashes for a week, thank you for this. Let me just tell you how bad they were. I would have a hot flash every 15 to 30 min. day in and day out, my heart would pound so bad that I would almost pass out, several times I had to pull off the road. I went to several doctors and they all said I had the worse case they had ever seen. I just want to say thank you so very much, you have saved my life, I really mean this.

I did a lot of reading on this product before I tried it. I am a premenopause female adult between the age of 45-50 who is normally healthy other than unfortunately started menopause at a younger age then most, I decided to give it a try.

I wish I hadn’t, this is an expensive product. I used it for three months as instructed and it did absolutely nothing for me, not one change. I was not about to buy another expensive 3 mos. supply when I found a simple inexpensive supplemental premenopause/memopause mild proestrogen cream works so much better than so many products I’ve tried, including this one.

Time October 28, 2010 at 8:58 pm

Wow.. I had heard such great things about Amberen from my doctor and others who had used it that I called to order. The customer service on the phone was amazing. I asked if I would automatically get rebilled and assured no, I wouldn’t but that I would like it so much that they were sure I would re-order for my next 90 day round. The product seemed to help me for about 3 days. After which, I went right back to having horrible hot flashes and sweating badly all through the night. The representative had expressed the importance of giving the medicine the full 30 days to run its course and work for me, so I did just that. It is now 1 day after the 30 day mark from the day that I PURCHASED (not received) the amberen. I called them to let them know that it was not working for me and I would be returning it. I was told very impolitely that there was no guarantee I would get ANY refund because it had been more than 30 days since I PURCHASED it. The paperwork stated if the return was late, (which seems assinine to me that they don’t realize you can’t take it on the day you purchase it because it takes a few days to arrive) he could not guarantee I would get any money back at all but there was a “refund review” board that would be looking into it for me. I feel like its a scam that you don’t even really get the free 30 days to try it, but if they at least promised to do what their fine print stated (that Brandon from amberen said was my responsibility to go to their website and read even though I didn’t purchase from the website) which is to give you a full refund less shipping and a 25% restocking fee, that would be at least acceptable. When I asked him how you were supposed to try it for 30 days but not get 30 days to try it really due to their refund policy, he got rather irate. I asked for a supervisor. He was VERY reluctant to give me a supervisor. I eventually had to demand one. Ten minutes of hold time later, he comes back to the phone and says that he had spoken to his manager who said ok, they would give me all of my money back but if I insisted on actually SPEAKING to the manager, then they would not refund all of my money and would revert back to their stupid “terms”. Considering he couldn’t even tell me if I would get ANY money back when my remaining unused amberen arrived in its perfectly cared for and unopened box, why did he think I would all of the sudden take his word that they would refund 100% of my money? I then asked for his manager again. He again was very reluctant to give me a manager. I was then placed on hold for ANOTHER 10 minutes and he came back to tell me that I couldn’t speak to a manager but if I would just give him my phone number, one would call me back. (yeah sure they would…) So I insisted on holding. I held for THIRTY EIGHT MINUTES and while holding, I went to their website which states that on the 31st day after ordering, they DO rebill you for another shipment. Another shipment that on the phone during ordering I was told that I wouldn’t even need until 3 months after I had stopped taking the original shipment because they claim you take it 3 months on, 3 off, 3 months on.. and so on. So as I sit here, still on hold waiting to see if a manager even EXISTS, I tell you don’t even BOTHER with amberen! Its a scam and not worth your time unless you have money to throw in the garbage. For those of you who it has worked for, I am truly happy but I hope for your sake it never stops working, because you will get the most unprofessional run around you’ve EVER had in your LIFE.
Who knows if I will EVER get my refund! I’ll let you know next year after I am hopefully removed from HOLD.

To complete my post, I was finally connected to a manager who expressed their apologies for the representative who I had spoken to and agreed to complete my refund as promised.

I guess the lesson here is if you plan to buy this product, absolutely do NOT do it without doing your research. I went by word of mouth and only after purchasing did I get the full story with my package. In this day and age, research is easy and I guess it is partially my fault for believing what was told to me by a sales representative, I should have been more skeptical and investigated more thoroughly prior to purchasing so that I knew all of the fine print up front.

I will say this, Amberen has worked for several people that I know so its definitely worth a *try*… just make sure if it doesn’t work for you that you only give it at max 20 days of trying before you send it back for your refund.

I was recommended the product by a friend. I looked the information over was not sure if I should try it. Now that I have read these independent reviews and the recomendation of my friends I will order the product.
I would say my symptoms are moderate, but they are increasing. After getting unreasonably upset with my husband I made the decision to place the order. I am unemployed, so the trial offer is good, but it it works then the cost will outweight the sacrifice.
I am hoping there is a solution to the weight problem. I even went on a 300 calorie/day diet for 3 months and did not lose the 1-2 pounds/day as promised. And I did not cheat. The weight issue is more discouncerting than the hot flashes.
I will send an update in a few weeks.

I am 62 and have had hot flashes for 12 years. About 2 dozen during the day and 2 dozen at night time. and can’t sleep good. Nothing ever worked until Amberen. I ordered it and added it to my regular RX each morning last July 1st. I have taken it faithfully, for 3 months and am off for now. No side affects. It took about a week for the hot flashes to drop about 80 %. What else it did for me – Less pain – mostly in my knees/feet. Lots of energy. I want to do lots of things now, instead of sleep. Also, I could sleep at night again. I work evenings and get home about 12:30am, but could not go to sleep until 4 or 5 or 6am. Not anymore, I drop off to sleep quickly. Not sleepy during the daytime.
Since I stopped at the end of 3 months, my hot flashes have not returned, but my energy level has dropped.
Weight – I did not loss any at first, but with more energy and doing more things outside, I had lost 8 pounds, gain them back on vacation of course, and dropped now 10 pounds. So that is good. Have not gain any back since I stopped (4 weeks now) and that is also good. I plan to reorder when my 3 months off is up.

I am about to complete the first 90 day program of Amberen (turned 50 in July) – and it has worked! My hot flashes and night sweats began mid-August (hit me immediately without warning) and they were INTENSE; I was a total witch with all the other hormonal changes also taking place. The only area I would disagree with is that the weight has not fallen off – and I do watch what I eat and exercise 3-4 times weekly. I am disappointed that I have to wait another 90 days before beginning another round – will remain positive that all will be okay, but if the hot flashes begin will order another 90 day supply right away. I do not wish to go through that horrible time for even one week – doubt my husband will survive either!

I am now on Day 7 after starting Amberen, and for the first time I got a little cold today! Those of you who have hot flashes and nightsweats totally understand–it’s been awhile! I slept completely without 1 sweat/flash last night. I have a mild headache that comes and goes, a little bloating, however I am taking 4 a day-two white, 2 red and I understand it may bring on a period. Quite possible because I haven’t had one for 4 months now, and have been irregular for 3 years. I am 48 in relatively good shape but have gained 20 plus pounds over the couple of years mainly in stomach area so I know it is hormonal. I have tried everything I could natural and nothing has conquered this problem. So after 7 days-Great! Except my appetite is outrageous all of a sudden–hope I don’t gain (I also get very hungry the week prior to my period). Hope this helps I will updated next week!

I was taking Amberen for 3 months and it worked great…no hot flashes, no night sweats, slept like a baby, then like they said I went off it…like they said and unfortunately the hot flashes/night sweats came back…and so I went back on Amberen but unfortunatley this time it did not work. I was really surprised. Another thing that happened, my period stopped completely. My obgyn said your HF/NS get worse when your menses stop but not sure why it did. I even doubled up on the doses twice. Nothing, in fact they are progressively getting worse. I think it won’t work for me anymore at this point. I will be trying other alternatives. My obgyn thinks it just masks the problem not fixes it. Might be true. Anyway I’ll be stopping and sending back the pkg I just bought. Pretty bummed about it.

I have tried everything under the sun except for an HRT prescription. Nothing worked. Hot flashes, cold flashes, light headedness, sleepless nights, it was awful. Heard about this product on the radio and decided to Google it. I was skeptical about buying it and hesitant to purchase because of the price, will it really work or am I just wasting my money. Well I am so glad I did purchase the 3 month package. Just 2 days after starting this product my hot flashes were gone. I am now on day 5 and last night I slept better than I have in a long time. Normally I would wake up every two hours and then take forever to fall back to sleep. Last night I woke up just once and that was due to my dog making noises. I will definitly recommend this product. (Wish it was cheaper though!)

I have been on Amberen now for 8 days. The first few days were rough because I still had HRT in my system. But after the 5th day I started feeling really great. I have had only a few hot flashes and they are very mild compared to what I had been having. And, the best part is I have lost 2 more lbs.(been on phase 1 of south beach for about one month) So, I’m feeling really optomistic! Will let everyone know how I’m doing in a week or so from now.

I took Amberen for 6 months. I work fabulous! no hot fashes, increased energy, improved train of thought and my husand said my affect was back to a sweet dispostion. hmmm. Anyway placebo or not it worked for me. I required a hysterectomy related to endometriosis ( at 54!): now painfree for the first time in a year. I’m now trying to decide if this is the right product. 2 weeks post-op just an occasional brief flush. The take away message – clearly there is not one formula for all. Just as we are complex, so is the subject of menopause managment. Cheers

I think my libido was SLIGHTLY increased (convinced myself?). However, because of the night sweats I was MISERABLE! I even doubled up on the dose trying to find relief. I quit and went back on my super small dose of HRT. Sadly disappointed that this didn’t work for me.

When I started taking Amberen, my hot flashes became so hot for a few days, it was painful! But after one month of taking 2 tablets per day, it works! Now I can talk to anybody anytime (and I had to schedule my conversations in between hot flashes that were coming every 20-30 minutes before), I can have a normal sex with my husband, I can go to an interview without worrying that I am misunderstood. I feel that I got myself back. And it is priceless. I was sleep-deprived and constantly tired before. I am much happier now. My side effects are hot flashes in my feet instead and very long (2-3 weeks) and light periods. But I will take this alternative any time. I did not get any relief with a weight gain so far.

Amberen has worked great for me. It took a good month before my symptoms went away – maybe if I had taken 4 pills it would have worked faster. Unfortunately, as soon as I went off Amberen, my symptoms came back. The nurse told me that it was okay to stay on Amberen and not take the 3 month break. I started taking Amberen again and I look forward to the time when I will have symptom relief.

I am about half-way through my 90 day course. I have not been having hot flushes (I am English so we say ‘flushes’ not ‘flashes’!) although I have had very many other symptoms – too numerous to mention! I started on the course and at the beginning nothing happened. Then I felt worse – dizzy and hot. I very nearly gave up – I felt so bad I stopped taking them for 3 days – then the next evening I suddenly felt ‘human’ again – it was remarkable. I am back on them and feel much better. I have 49 days left to take. I am worried about what to do after that, whether to get some more or stop taking them. Anyway, I would say to others – don’t give up too easily – it is worth persisting.

I am on my 3rd day of taking Amberen. I am already feeling better. My hot flashes are reduced significantly. I do remember waking up about 3 times last night with night sweats. It was about every hour before I started taking Amberen. My appetite is reduced and my energy level has increased just like it used to be before my symptoms started (about 5 years ago). I have already lost 2.5lbs in just 3 days. I already love this product.

Tryed the full 90 day course. Wasn’t working after two weeks so doubled the dose as recommended. For a few days it seemed to work and then I went back to my usual full blown hot flashes and night sweats as usual. Very disappointed. Actually gained weight and bloating while using this product also. Shouldn’t have wasted my $100.00. Just finished the product and as you can see at the time of the email- been up all night so definitely didn’t help with sleep either!!!

At first when I got the product it made my symptoms worse, more than when I started, so I increased the pills to four a day and it seems to be working, I don’t have as many and r not as intense, so I will reorder because I don’t want to go off of the product, as well as I take calcium, vitaminD and Omegas, and cool@ night and that is helping but before I increased the doses I just wanted to numb off a building.

I am noticing how Amberen works for some and not for others. Very interesting. It works for me! Everything except for vag dryness. Once I had a ‘bad’ day..depression, hot flash, irritated..you know.. and was puzzled and then remembered I had not taken my Amberen. At the end of 3 months I stopped as suggested. After one month I noticed the old menopause systems returning. I contacted them and it is suggested to stop after 3 mo. but not required. For the dryness, it was suggested to double up for two weeks.
I’d recommend anyone trying it. With $back guarantee, what have you got to loose? I think it works for most, but not for some. I am 57 if that makes a difference.

I am 52 and was having heart palpatations, anxiety attacks and hot flashes, but those were not severe. My doctor put me on medication to slow my heart down, but the anxiety persisted. Also waking up frequently at night. I ordered Amberen and after about a week, anxiety and heart palpatations were completely gone. Hot flashes were only very occasional, using first thing in the morning getting ready for work. I am sleeping so much better, and have lots more energy. Overall a more positive person now. I take 4 pills a day and am almost done with 60 days. So far I am very impressed.

I just left a review on the Wellsley… website.

Now age 53, my body has run like a clock for my entire life. I have always had regular, heavy periods, and have been waiting for them to end for a couple of years.

It appeared to happening in March 2010, when my period was late for 10 days. While celebrating the end of menustrual cycles, it started up, but heaving even than normal, and it didn’t stop for three months, until June 2010.

In May 2010, I landed on something called Female Toner and began spraying it (diluted in Evening Primrose carrier oil) directly onto my tampons and pads. Bleeding stopped shortly afterward. Since then, my period has continued on a semi-normal-regular basis, but VERY heavy, and on occasions when it doesn’t arrive on time, it want to return to a continuous bleed cycle.

Then I heard about Amberen and ordered it. It came in about the time I was again late for a few days, when it was starting up. I was taking the Amberen when it began in earnest, but this time, the bleeding has been mild, and totally under control.

So far, it looks good. I plan to follow up on this review in a few weeks.

hi Ladies –
I am 51 & started menopause about 45. I felt like HRT was not an option for me. I wanted to go all natural. Nothing really helped long term. BUT I started Amberen 3 months ago. Has anyone heard of Amberen?? My hot flashes & night sweats were horrible. So was my energy level. Three days into taking Amberen I was dramatically feeling better. My hot flashes were reduced and I started sleeping thru the night. Oh how great it was to get a good nights sleep!
Nearly all my menopause symptoms are gone. Do I still have hot flashes or night sweats? Yeah, but instead of 25-30 hot flashes a day I may have one every couple of days! No kidding. I sleep the entire night thru. I’ve lost 12lbs. My energy level is way up and so is libido.
In those three months I was so excited about how much better I was feeling. An idea started formulating in my mind about helping other women. I decided to take some action. At 51 I had no idea how to build a website but decided to go for it anyway. I’ve now finished & published as of last week! It’s my story about Amberen and how I was dealing with menopause before taking Amberen. My website is Put The Pause in Menopause.
Please check it out for the full story. I can highly recommend Amberen! I’d be glad to answer any questions. All I can say is that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. They also have a risk free trial. It’s no nonsense and none of the automatic enrollment shinanigans either. And no, I’m not affililated with the company – I just want to HELP OTHER WOMEN!

I’m 54 yrs. old, and after reading most of the reviews on this board, I’ve noticed something. Most of the people this product works for are either in peri-menopause or not very long into menopause. My periods have stopped completely, and I’ve been through God knows how many products, and I can tell you this. When you are at the height of your hot flashes & mood swings, almost any product will work (much cheaper products than this–try some Progon B if you are still having periods, and some Phyto-B if you have stopped). Eventually, everything stops working because your hormones fluctuate. What works one month will not continue to work the next. It’s a constant battle, and eventually it gets to the point that taking anything will probably increase your hot flashes. I found the best thing I can do is just try to control & limit them with a good diet and lack of caffeine, red, wine, processed foods, etc. (things that increase hot flashes). They may not ever stop, but eventually they do seem to lessen to the point of being tolerable.

Amberen worked for me for the first month. Then halfway into my second month the symptoms got worse. I called the nurse line and they instructed me to stop because I had reached my level of treatment. She assured me that the symptoms would go away after 2 weeks. No they did not go away. So I decided to turn to HT. It is working like a charm. I feel like I wasted my money on Amberen.

I am 63 years old and have been going thru menopause for several years, my doctor put me on HRT and I stayed on it for several years, and when the HRT scare came out, I had my dosage reduced to the lowest possible upon my doctor’s advice. I asked my doctor at my last visit how much longer did I need to stay on the HRT, and she suggested I could go off at any time, I stopped it about 1 month ago, and am I paying. Hot Flashes are back, night sweats are back, I am not sleeping anymore at night, I am tired all the time, I have heart palpatations, which I have never had, and I absolutely cannot lose a pound no matter what I do, all these things are enough to cause depression. I looked into HRC medical, but it is so expensive, and requires long trips to the clinic, so that is not an option for me. I have tried OTC without much relief, so as a last desperate resort, I have ordered Amberen, I have read the reviews, researched the product, and I am ready and willing to try the product. I hope it does for me what I have read it has done for others, I am so tired of feeling dead.. I will let you know in a few months, and I pray I am singing Amberen’s praises…. thanks Carolyn

Worked after changing to 4 a day
My night sweats and hot flashes were unbearable. They used to wake me up three to five times a night. It was really difficult concentrating during the day because of lack of sleep at night. My husband (also a pharmacist) came across Amberen when he was helping me get a safe relief for menopause.
I then decided to give it a try. I started with 2 pills a day. I did not get the fast relief I was looking for. I was a little bit frustrated even thinking of discontinuing it. After 30 days I decided to take 4 pills a day as recommended. The 4th night after changing my dose to 4, I slept like a baby. When I woke up that morning I said to my husband, I can’t believe I did not wake up in the middle of the night; no hot flashes or night sweats. That was the beginning of good nights for me and bye bye hot flashes & night sweats. I have been enjoying good nights for one and a half month now.
Also, since taking Amberen I noticed that my period became normal. That something I have not seen for a while. I just turned fifty. Anyway I am looking forward for period to go away.

Started taking Amberen 8 days ago. I’m 47 and had a complete Hysterectomy 15 years ago. Have been on HRT since. Because of all the risks they have found I lowered my dose to .03 of HRT. Really was looking for other options and came across Amberen and decided to give it a try. Because of going off HRT, I decided to try a mix of 2 pills one day and 4 pills the other. Seems to be helping me a bit. I still wake up at night but really only warm. Some hot flashes during the day but less than before. Really started noticing some mental changes the past 2 days. Maybe better focus..some hard to explain, not bad just different? I will remain hopeful and keep plugging along. Will report back in another week or so. Not many woman who have had Hysterectomies have commented so I wanted to incase they are wondering.

I was very skeptical of this product. I like others had tried EVERYTHING. I had a hysterectomy and the only thing that seemed to work was high dosages of HRT. I was not happy with that so I started limiting my intake. Began taking Amberen and after 90 days saw no noticeable effects. Took another round and voila. That did the trick. I could actually go out in public and not worry about having to carry a spare set of underwear! Yeah it was that bad.

This product does not work at all. They also do not honor the terms of their 30 day free trial offer.

I have had problems with hot flashes averaging 8-10 per day, and luckily only 1-2 at night. I was on HRT for 7 years and it worked very well, but had to go off last year due to bloating and cramping. I saw no improvement after taking Amberen for 2 weeks, and was told by the online nurse to double the dose. It has been a little over 2 weeks of that, and there is maybe a slight improvement–5-6 hot flashes per day. I will probably finish the 2nd box, and if there’s no further improvement, I will return the 3rd box for a partial refund. The question is whether I want to have to pay for a double dose ($300) for minimal results. Probably not. I was really hoping this would help.

I am 57 and have been undergoing the transition of menopause since I was 42. My biggest complaint has been the hot flashes and unbelievable night sweats that occurred up to 8 or 9 times a night and at least 5-6 times daily. Living in AZ doesn’t help. I’ve used additional supplements and vitamins for the past ten years, exercise religiously, am average weight and height, am married, and work a low stress job with special needs students. I tried Amberen due to the all natural ingredients and no side affects. I was skeptical but willing and very glad that I did. The first day I had one night sweat. After that the night sweats and hot flashes completely disappeared! I truly did not expect that to happen. I’ve even switched times for taking Amberen–sometimes later in the day or earlier and it hasn’t failed me yet. I am ALSO LOSING WEIGHT (with exercise still as a part of my regimen) and have lost ten pounds in the ten days I have been taking Amberen. Priot to Amberen I was gaining weight. I haven’t had a menses since Dec., and did notice that once I took Amberen my libido increased (to my husband’s pleasure), moisture has definitely increased for better lubrication, and a bit of menses like spotting has occurred but nothing of any great amount. My nipples have also become a bit more sensitive, and perhaps stimulated by the Amberen. I’ve taken Amberen for about ten days now, and I will swear by it, have told all my family and friends about it, and feel if there’s nothing to lose health-wise or any risks involved everyone undergoing intense menopause symptoms should give it a shot. What do you have to lose but a few dollars for a possible permanent relief. Also, I’ve NEVER SLEPT BETTER since the first day I started taking Amberen. To me Amberen is a lifesaver and now I can resume a normal sex life with my husband again. Thanks Amberen! My husband thanks you, too!

I just received my Amberen yesterday and took the first dose today. Just so everyone knows, I haven’t had a period in almost 10 years and was temporarily on HRT. The HRT only helped a bit and did more harm than good. I have very fibrous breast tissue and during a routine Mammo, had a big scare. I stopped the therapy and figured I would rather deal with the night sweats and hot flashes. Luckily, I never had other symptoms. None of the OTC products worked, which led me to Amberen. The bottom line is, all we can do is try. We all have different metabolism’s, so what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another. I’m keeping an open mind and time will tell. I’ll keep you all posted.

I’ve been taking the Amberen for almost 3 months now. The “nurse” told me to take the “B” plan because after 1 month I was seeing no results. I’m having major issues with constipation and still no relief. I took HRT for almost 5 years and really really wanted to use something natural…this is just not working. I’ll finish up what I have left because I’ve put in $150.00 so far, but I’m guessing it isn’t going to get any better. If it does, I’ll come back and retract.

I’ve been taking Amberen for 6 weeks, and I am hot flash/night sweat free! The product started working after 3 days. I took the 1 dose a day in the morning. I did experience numbness in my face. When I called, they said that was a side effect of menopause and to take 2 doses a day. This had worked wonders for me. I took the package to my GYN, and she said she would rather have me take this than HRT. With this product, my body adjusts to the lack of estrogen. With HRT, it’s giving my body what it is lacking instead of adjusting to not having it. I’m ordering my second round today.
