I've tried other prescriptions from my primary doctor and did not like the side effects it gave me, so I went with a holistic doctor who started me on the cream. I experienced zero side effects and my hot flashes and mood have been a lot better. I hear there are going to be restrictions, which I do not understand. Why aren't there restrictions for the ones that have serious side effects? Big Pharma companies are out to make us sick with their chemicals. Freedom of speech, just saying.
