I’m 7 months in. I know it’s so different for everyone. The first 2 months took some adjusting with being tired and cranky but it passed. My hair has thinned ALOT but other than that I was lucky enough to not have hot flashes or night sweats. I run 5 miles a day to keep the energy up I also lost 11 lbs in the first 2 months on it. I take it first thing on an empty stomach. You never know until you start. Good luck!
