Re: night sweats

Yes, I have night sweats every night. I am now on armidex and I take it right before I got to bed, about an hour after taking the armidex, I am burning up. We sleep with the air conditioner down so low, it is like being in a refrigerator. Through the years, I have just learned to tolerate it.
I do take effexor xr which was prescribed by my GYN for insomia and hot flashes. It helps quiet a bit.

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
