Re: night sweats

I get night sweats and hot flashes during the day. At first I just toughed it out but I was having them so often that I was pretty miserable. My doc wrote me a RX for Paroxetine. I take 10 mg each night and it has really helped! It is safe to take even if your cancer was ER+. Might want to give it a try.

Take Care,
Brenda
