Menest is a hormone replacement therapy used to treat symptoms of menopause and other conditions. I've been taking it for a few months now and have noticed some improvements, but I'm also a bit worried about the side effects. Has anyone else had severe reactions or found them helpful? Let's share our stories and tips! Menest is a mixture of natural female hormones called estrogens. It's used to replace hormones that the body no longer makes after menopause, to treat certain symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, or for other specific hormone deficiencies or cancers. Some of the side effects listed are quite scary, and I'm curious if any of you have experienced anything you felt needed immediate medical attention. I know some people are against HRT and would want to know alternatives. I think it would also help to share our success stories if anyone has had a good experience.
