Dear Julie:
The few studies conducted on Black Cohosh have not shown much promise. Having said that, some users occasionally report some improvement in their symptoms, albeit for a short period of time.
My recommendation- use it for a period of 4-6 weeks. If you find significant improvement continue for up to 3 months, but not longer.
Best wishes,
