I went through menopause real young - it started in my 30's, I was all done with hot flashes. But those terrible A/C treatment brought them back with a vengeance, especially night sweats. Now with tamoxifen I am also getting hot flashes, the worst being at night. I was waking up about 6 times a night either with a hot flash or because I was cold and needed to put my blankets back on. I started to take melatonin 1/2 hour before going to bed and it helps a lot. Since it appears that melatonin also helps fight breast cancer I think it is a great supplement to take.
