* Night sweats
* Insomnia
* Mood swings including irritability, depression, and anxiety
* Irregular menstrual periods
* Spotting of blood in between periods
* Vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse
* Decreased sex drive
* Vaginal infections
* Urinary tract infections Source(s): http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/print...
