Me too...almost as long.
My Dr took me off them last summer-absolutly terrible time of year to do that!!! Have had bad hot flashes ever since. Summer is terrible and winter is only a little better.
I would rather put up with the chance breast cancer sometime in the future and have a good quality of life while I still have a chance of having one!!
I always thought that they did not last more than a few years...but then there was not (still not) all that much info floating around for this part of our future!
Have tried the One-a-day for 'mature' women + menopause relief---did not help one iota!
Would like to know more about black cohosh though....off to Google I go........................
