I have been taking remifemin for over 1 year now 2 tabs per day as per instructions.
It took a good month till the hot flashes and nausea went. I was in a bad way.
If I missed taking the tablets the systems come back quickly and take longer to go away. Eg. missed 2 days hot flushes not as extreme came it took 2 weeks before they left me again.
Side effects.
Now I cannot say if that is from the remifemin as I have had problems with my muscles and tendons for years previously, but the following symptoms are new. Weekness in extremity's. Muscle spasms (cramp without great pain) - neck, back, arm. Generally I feel a spasm coming on and can stop it by stopping what I am doing sometimes though it's too late the muscle group contracts stay there a couple of days. Painful by use - movement.
