"I have been taking Brisdelle for 7 months. I wanted to give it a fair chance. I had fairly severe hot flashes but no other problems relating to menopause. I went from having about 15 hot flashes a day to about 10. The severity was a bit better, but I still had a lot of sweat with each flash, especially at night. It was very expensive, and my health plan didn't cover it, so I came off. I weaned myself off very slowly over a six-week period. The withdrawal is pretty severe. Feelings of vertigo and dizziness, nausea, and zaps."

"I have been taking it for 2 weeks now. I do believe it's helping me. I will post again in about 6 weeks. Typically, I get a rush of heat over me a few times a day, leaving me with a drenched head and droplets of sweat on my face, neck. Now, so far so good."

"It definitely works. Hot flashes stopped within days, and it calmed me so much. I slept so well at night, but then headaches, sinus congestion, chest congestion, almost feeling like having the flu, made me stop, and it took me weeks to get over the brain fog feeling."

"Three weeks into taking Brisdelle, I stopped. After a week, I was experiencing horrific muscle pain in my legs, which kept me awake for three nights until I was prescribed a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The anti-inflammatory calmed the muscle pain down, but then I started experiencing horrific head pain and headaches; I've never had a headache in my life! I am off this drug for two days now and can't wait to feel like myself again. I'm still experiencing insomnia, headache, head pain, vertigo."

"It's surprising to read all these bad reviews, especially those about the terrible side effects. I've had a great experience with Brisdelle - no side effects and a dramatic reduction of the number of hot flashes and the severity. I would estimate an improvement of about 85%. I did gain some weight, but from what I read the dosage is too low to have a causal effect; probably just part of menopause."

"I have been taking Brisdelle for the past 6 months to help with hot flashes. However, I have had these chronic problems since taking this medication. I have tremors, eyes are sensitive to light, seizures, biting my tongue during the night while sleeping so severe that I have to get up because the blood is so profuse. I also am dizzy all the time, and feel like I am whirling around and unstable while sitting, lying down, or walking about. It has taken me almost 2 months and thousands of dollars to figure this out on my own. I have been to the endocrinologist to see if I have a tumor, neurologist due to the seizures, dentist, ENTSpecialist, Chiropractor, a Neuro-Opthamologist, and my primary care physician and no one has been able to help me"

"2 days in and the hot flashes are GONE. After 10 YEARS in which the only thing that worked (and I tried everything under the sun) was HRT. So glad I found paroxetine."

"My hot flashes have reduced tremendously. Initially, I thought it was not working until I stopped taking it. When I went back on the meds, I have been almost normal. I am pleased."

"I took it for 3 days and couldn't get out and about due to dizziness and headache. I feel like a junkie coming off a bad fix. Money WASTED!"
