"i had gained a bit of weight during menopause (about 20 lbs.) i am 5&#039;3&quot; and i now weigh 140lbs. i did get down to 135lbs but have gained back a couple of pounds.  i wanted to share my experience to see if anyone else noticed the same. i went to medi weight loss clinic where i was given this medicine for only a few weeks because i wasn&#039;t that overweight.  what i noticed was the increase of energy, that i had lost after menopause, i also lost all hot flashes, night sweats, and irritability.  after not taking the medicine for a couple of weeks all menopause symptoms came back. my friend had the same happen to her.  i think it would be a great for menopause."
