i'm sorry you're having symptoms like mood swings and hot flashes. that sounds unpleasant! i want to let you know that these symptoms can be caused by things other than a lack of estrogen. usually one ovary can provide enough female hormones to keep a woman from getting the symptoms you describe. so i'd recommend you get checked out by a health care provider to see if your estrogen levels really are causing these symptoms or if it's something else. in answer to your question there is no such thing as an "over the counter estrogen pill. " estrogen is a regulated substance that can only be obtained by prescription. there are many over-the-counter products that claim to improve menopause symptoms. these products usually are herbal supplements. many women say these products do help them with the symptoms of menopause. while these products generally are safe to take keep in mind they are not regulated in the same way drugs are. use your best judgement when taking any over-the-counter product even if it's labeled as "natural " "all-natural " or "herbal. " i hope this helps!
