Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

I AM REAL CURIOUS IF ANYONE HAS TAKEN A CERTAIN BRAND NAME OF PRIMROSE OIL, AND THEN CHANGED BRANDS AND FOUND THAT ONE WORKED BETTER THAN THE OTHER??? I STARTED AWHILE BACK ON THIS SUPPLEMENT, AND THOUGHT MY HOT FLASHES WERE GETTING BETTER. I RAN OUT AND I REPLACED THEM WITH ANOTHER BRAND NAME. THESE I HAVE NOW DONT SEEM TO BE DOING ANYTHING FOR ME. I FEEL LIKE ONE BIG TICKY TACKY SWEAT BALL, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. YUK!!! SO DOES ANYONE HAVE A FAVORITE BRAND NAME THAT REALLY WORKS FOR THEM??? I'M ALL EARS:) THANK YOU.

I never changed brands, and I was on it for 2-3 years and it didn't do anything for me except make my skin too soft and heal like a diabetic (with the purple). So I stopped it.

It's very possible that something in the one that works for you is different, from what the oil is encased in, to any other thing about it.

Read the fine print on the labels, you should be able to find them on the internet and compare.

Best thing to do is talk to your pharmacist in my opinion.

Yes, a reputable compounding pharmacist would be best.

Thank you ladies for your replies. As it now, I just had my yearly pap done, and my gyn wants to put me on a low dose birth control. I never dreamed that I would be 48yrs old and on birth control. SOOO this is suppose to help regulate my cycle and releive the hot flashes. I guess time will only tell. So for now I am going to put the primrose oil up on the shelf and keep my fingers crossed. Again thank you:)
