Why I Knew Something Had to Change
I’ve always thought of myself as a pretty calm person. But a few months ago, something shifted. It felt like I was snapping at everyone — my husband, my kids, even the dog — over the tiniest things.
I’d go from zero to ten in seconds, and afterward, I’d feel this awful wave of guilt. I wasn’t just moody… I was emotionally exhausted. And honestly, I didn’t even want to be around myself.
I figured it had to be hormones. I’m in my mid-40s, not quite in menopause yet, but definitely somewhere in the perimenopause mess. I didn’t want to jump into HRT right away — I wanted to try something gentler first.
That’s when I found Serenol™.
TL;DR
- I started Serenol™ to help with mood swings, irritability, and sleep during perimenopause.
- I noticed subtle changes in the first few weeks — and by month 2, I felt more emotionally stable.
- My cravings eased up, my sleep improved, and I wasn’t snapping at everyone anymore.
- If you’re expecting magic overnight, this isn’t it — but if you stick with it, it just might help you feel like you again.
How I Found Serenol™
I was already familiar with Bonafide—I'd been taking Ristela to help with low libido and had recently tried Thermella for hot flashes too. So when I saw Serenol™ on their website, it definitely caught my eye.
What really pulled me in? The reviews. Women were saying things like:
“I didn’t want to be around myself before I took Serenol.”
“My mood swings were out of control and this helped me feel normal again.”
“Even my family noticed the difference.”
I read those and thought, Wow... that’s me. The irritability, the emotional ups and downs, the feeling like I wasn’t quite myself anymore—I could relate to all of it.
So I went for it. I signed up for the 3-month plan, since everything I read said it takes some time to really work. Before I clicked “confirm,” I gave myself a little pep talk:
“Stick with it, Barb. You deserve to feel like yourself again.”
What It’s Like to Take It
Super easy. Just two tablets a day with water. No weird aftertaste, no side effects. And most importantly — no hormones. That was a biggie for me.
I didn’t feel anything dramatic at first. But by the time I was heading into month two, I realized something:
I wasn’t yelling at the toaster anymore. Or my husband. Or the person in traffic who didn’t use their blinker.
The Biggest Changes I Noticed
After a few weeks, things started to shift — subtly but steadily. Here’s what I noticed:
- Way less irritability: I didn’t feel like I was on the edge all the time.
- Mood swings smoothed out: I still felt emotions (thankfully!), but I didn’t feel hijacked by them.
- Better sleep: I didn’t expect this, but I was falling asleep faster and waking up rested.
- Less bloating, fewer cravings: I didn’t start taking Serenol for this reason, but it was a nice surprise.
- My husband noticed before I even said anything. He told me, “You seem more like you again.” That made me tear up (in a good way this time).
Is Serenol™ Worth It?
Honestly? Yes.
It’s not magic. It didn’t fix everything overnight. But it gave me back something I hadn’t felt in a long time — emotional steadiness. I’m not walking on eggshells around myself anymore.
If you’re in that weird in-between place of not feeling like you anymore — and you suspect it’s hormones — I think Serenol™ is worth trying. I’d recommend sticking with it for at least two full months before deciding if it works for you.
It made a real difference in my day-to-day life. And that, to me, is priceless.
Serenol™ may not work for everyone, and trust me, there are women out there that have tried it, and have come back to me saying "it didn't work." In which I always reply, "I hear you sister, these are supplements, every woman's body is a little different, and maybe you should ask your doctor about HRT, because the goal is to find a solution - you got this!"
If you're struggling with mood swings AND you're looking for non-hormonal products, Bonafide is the spot - and Serenol™ gives you a fighting chance.
FAQ: What Readers Typically Ask Me About Serenol™
Honestly, I didn’t feel anything right away. It took about 4 weeks before I noticed I wasn’t reacting to every little thing. By week 6 or 7, it really started to kick in. I stuck with it because a lot of the reviews said it takes time — and they were right.
Nope. No headaches, no stomach upset, nothing weird. And that was a big relief because my body usually doesn’t play nice with supplements. This one was super gentle, at least for me.
I was, actually — or close to it. My cycles have been all over the place lately, so who really knows anymore? But yes, I was having PMS symptoms when I started and still saw gradual improvement over time.
Surprisingly, yes. I wasn’t expecting that, but I noticed I wasn’t raiding the pantry every night. And my jeans fit better around week 5. I didn’t change anything else — just started Serenol.
That’s a good question. I still felt like me, just… steadier. I wasn’t walking around with this storm cloud over my head. And I could actually pause before reacting, which hasn’t happened in a while. I didn’t realize how much hormonal imbalance was affecting my personality until I started feeling better.
To me, yes. I started with the 3-month plan because it was cheaper overall, and I’m glad I did. Once I saw how much calmer and more grounded I felt, I knew I’d keep it in my routine. If you’re at the end of your rope emotionally, it’s worth a try.
I already have. I told my sister-in-law about it and she’s ordering some now. I always say — if something works, share it. And this worked for me.
