i had to stop taking this medication, my joints were hurting.

hot flashes and irratability immediately went away. Only negative was started periods again after one year without,but well worth the tradeoff.

I felt SO MUCH BETTER once I started taking this drug, the night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings went a way. I had energy again, and concentrate on things again.

At 50 - menopause was in full swing. Hot flashes were BRUTAL both day and especially at night. Waking every hour sweating then freezing from being clammy. Feet swell, irritability, mood swings - horrible life. Was adamant that I didn't want to take hormones. Met with my doctor who spent quite a long time discussing the good, bad and ugly of hormones. Explained that I probably wouldn't have to take them forever. Finally, she told me that she had already had her tubes tied and if she had to take a hormone replacement this is the one she would take. Said I could have periods but this should not cause regular monthly cycles. Have been taking for almost 2 weeks and the change is remarkable. Still have some hot flashes but not as severe. Don't plan on taking forever, hope to ween off eventually. If anyone is suffering like I was, PLEASE, PLEASE see your doctor and discuss this treatment.

Started using Angeliq 3 years ago. My hot flashes disappeared, my skin, hair and nails started growing. I had more energy and my mood improved immensly. I stopped using it for 4months and everything went down hill. My hair fell out in chunks and I was so depressed. Started taking it again and I feel fantastic.

I took Angeliq for 3 years and had frequent, excruciating headaches that lasted for up to 3 days and could not be quelled even by Vicodin or muscle relaxers. My doctor thought they were related to a bulging disc in my neck. She and I never associated my headaches with this drug, which did work on the menopausal symptoms for which I was taking it. Four months ago I switched to Combipatch, and I have not had ONE headache since the switch. Now I'm certain my headaches were related to Angeliq.

It eased my hot flashes within days, then I started bleeding again! I have gone to another pill.

I AM HAVE ONLY BEEN TAKING ANGELIQ FOR JUST OVER A WEEK, I HAVE HAD MUSCLE CRAMPS, ESP IN MY LOWER RIGHT LEG, NOT SURE IF I NEED TO CHANGE TO DIFFERENT MED, HOT FLUSHES WERE KEEPING ME AWAKE, NOW THE LEG CRAMPS ARE TOO.

I have been on this HRT for 4 months and it has been great!! No hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, and vaginal dryness, all went away after a few weeks. I work out at least 5-6 days a week and have noticed that loosing weight has gotten to be really difficult, especially in the stomach area. I took my pill "LATE" "ONE" day as opposed to taking it early in the morning and boy did I have problems. Night sweats two nights in a row, I didn't sleep well for two nights and the bleeding was horriable. So I learned that you need to take it at the exact same time everyday to get the results you are looking for.
