I tried effexor, threw up for 5 days (an atypical reaction). For my hot flashes/menopausal symptons, which are overwhelming (enough so to have put me back on HRT at one point before I got mets)I take all these: Neurontin, Serzone (in small trials has proved effective), Amitryptaline (helps me sleep through them at night), massive Vit. E (1200 IU/day), and Black Cohosh (reported recently to be a no for mets patients, but it's a quality of life issue for me). I don't dare miss one of these things or I'm screwed up for days.
