Side effects of alternative HRT - Menopause Message Board

Does anyone know of any side effects from taking soy and black cohosh? I've been feeling light headed lately and today I've been so dizzy I practically fall over. I've been nausiated as well. The only thing new in my routine is the soy/black cohosh I started about ten days ago. What else could be causing this??

I have taken the black cohosh before, but I can't remember having side effects from it. In fact, I don't think it did anything. The natural products don't do much for me. I don't take alot of soy products, for some reason it seems it bother my asthma some. Sorry I can't help you more. Maybe your having some peri symptoms that don't have anything to do with the soy or black cohosh? Hope your feeling better. Ann

Mombat,

Most natural things don't do anything one way or another for me, except Soy. It makes my hot flashes and night sweats worse. It's been awhile so I don't remember much else from it but I think I was more hungry too. Hope this helps. Try not taking it for a couple days and see if that helps. Aller

gies can also make your feel dizzy. Julie
