    Hi,

    I just started DIM, headaches the first few days but it might be helping with sleep.

    I don't know, it's supposed to help excess estrogen and I don't know if I am low in estrogen, high or fluctuating all over. Supposed to give it 30 days to figure out if it's working.

    Good luck!

    I took both , with DIM it brought my estrogen down too low and ashwagandha it made me feel like a period wanted to come on. Its best to check your levels first.

    I take Ashwagada for anxiety, I find it really helps. It doesn't get rid of anxiety altogether but it takes the edge off enough so I can talk myself down when I'm being irrational. I find taking one about a hour before bed helps me sleep a little better to. Hope this helps xxx

    I just started Ashwagandha. Lots of good feedback on that for menopause. Took about a week or so till I felt the effects. It does help me somewhat and I do feel calmer but, it hasn't cured my anxiety due to peri yet. I take it before bedtime and it does help me sleep better. I also, just bought an anxiety blanket too and that works too. I didn't know if it would but, sleeping better with that also. Mines 12 lbs. Have the a/c on or fan and your good to go. Hope you feel better. By the way. I tried the Dim but, it gave me headaches and I found my face was breaking out more. ❤️ Take Care...
