? on natural supplements for menopause

[Guest guest]

Last month had my gynie check up and doctor is not prescribing

premarin any longer. I'm finishing up my prescription taking one

every other day instead of stopping cold. Have read Natural Hormone

Balance for Women and he suggests certain supplements and food options

in lieu of a prescription for estriol.

So far only having trouble getting a good night's sleep and a little

warm occasionally, but I'm really concerned about bone loss down the

road. Have been taking one 5 HTP at night and that seems to help with

sleep. Is there anyone on the list that has taken 5 HTP regularly for

a while? Are there any problems with taking that long term? And has

anyone taken natural supplements to help with bone loss? Any comments

would be greatly appreciated.
