Good morning Caroline. I just have a couple experiences to offer. First, I tried black cohosh tea which did not have any effect on hot flashes then I was advised by my hospital nutritionist not to use it without speaking to the doctor.

Second, I recently underwent total hip replacement and needed to be placed on an antidepressant (my case was Lexapro) my hotflashes had minimized but the doc. warned me Lexapro will increase them and the night sweats. He was correct on both accounts.

Lastly, for night time sweats invest in some wicking pajamas.

Best of luck.
