After taking just one pill a day for about 3 weeks, I developed hives so I had to discontinue use immediately

Really horrible night sweats [worse than hot flashes during the day every night 6 - 8 times] which have lessened in intensity and duration, but still continue to disrupt sleep too much after 9 weeks of standardized BlackCohosh 545mg, so this might be not so effective for me.

Really horrible night sweats [worse than hot flashes during the day every night 6 - 8 times] which have lessened in intensity and duration, but still continue to disrupt sleep too much after 9 weeks of standardized BlackCohosh 545mg, so this might be not so effective for me. I started with one capsule per day for 1 week, increased to 2 per day, and after about 10 days I started to feel lightheaded, so I went back to one per day with no side effect but no further reduction in the night sweats. I have used 16oz or more soymilk everyday for over 4 years. I take daily supplements [virtually the same as those recommended through WomanToWoman site]. I have rx from MD HRT estrogens and progesterone but I haven't filled the rx -- yet. I've gotten some relief from acupuncture also. I'm not sure what to try next. Managing these symptoms is a HUGE challenge. No one thing works for everyone.
