Those hot flushes and sleepless nights are just the pits aren't they. My doctor prescribed me a very low dose antidepressant called Endep(10mg).Initially it really helped and didn't seem to have any side effects.It's not as effective lately(been on it over 2yrs) so maybe I'm too used to it or maybe it's such a hot summer.My menopause strategies are: always carry a bottle of cold water wherever you go; keep hand fans everywhere including your handbag; sleep with a small desk fan by your bed side blowing on your face all night; keep a supply of icey poles in the freezer.
