meds for hot flashes
Has anyone's oncologist prescribed medicine for reducing hot flashes and night sweats? Mine has prescibed neurontin, which is a seizure meication. He says that it may seem odd that he is placing me on this but that it will work. When I talked to one of the onc nurses last week she seemed to not have heard of this before. Sometimes I wonder if we are all just big guine pigs.
The taxotere started the hot flashes and sweats which were mostly at night. Now I have them anytime since starting the tamoxifen.
Thank you to anyone who responds!
