Hi Mary Jo. I haven't gone the same route as you are going, but just wanted to wish you relief from those hot flashes. I had a chemopause almost twenty nine years ago and have had hot flashes for all of that time! They were slightly less bothersome for some "middle" years, but returned with a vengence when I became of normal menopause age. I was estrogen receptor positive, so no relief of replacement therapy for me. I was also offered effexor, but declined (have a daughter who has had to take antidepressants. Her side effects were nasty). Anyway, I hope the current treatment works for you and you are soon without the flashes, night sweats and loss of sleep. Would love to hear how it works for you.
