Sorry, WR, not much experience with the alternative meds. Black cohosh never tried. Dong quai tried a short while, then read some stuff that made me uncomfortable about it (but, it's been so long ago I've forgotten what it is, of course).
Prem Pro is what helped me, still helps me. I had mega hot flashes; so nice sitting in an interview (this was when I still had enough cognitive ability to make sense during one) and start pouring down sweat, rivulets running down from my scalp and temples onto my neck, under my glasses. To swipe at the sweat or let it run, not knowing which will be more noticeably offensive. Decided on letting it run. Yes, how very nice all that was.
So, when I got serious about a solution, I went with the standard western meds. Tried wild yam root also, no luck there.
