Hi.
Give it some time, vagifem should help mildly (at least) correct the hormonal insufficiency that you are experiencing brought about by menopause, and it should help correct the tiredness, headaches, etc.
But speak to your doctor if you do not experience any response in over 2 weeks, and may be your doctor may decide to either increase the dose or prescribe a different hormonal replacement medication.
Best wishes.
