Experience

I started taking this in conjunction with anti depressants after suffering post natal depression following the birth of my daughter. I had no sex drive whatsoever but thought my moods were reasonably stable. Only when I came off the anti depressants did I start to get seriously low moods and depressive episodes. In stopping Cilest these stopped entirely.

Experience after taking

After stopping cilest my mood improved and sex drive returned. I think I lost a bit of weight as well – I certainly didn’t bloat as much as before. It took at least 3 months for my period to return to normal
