Gabapentin for hot flushes

Thanks for the update. You really have had hot flushes big time!! I now think the endep has really kept mine under control.I still wake up once overnight with a flush but can go back to sleep.Tried to come off endep the other week and was waking at 3am,thrashing around for 3hours then going back to sleep-waking up at 8am like a zombie!On endep I would say I still get a hot flush every 2hrs throughout the day.I can pinpoint now when it's going to happen and if I can,I stop it in it's tracks.I will get a hot flush if I drink tea or coffee (refuse to give up)or if I change environments eg.come out of an airconditioned shopping centre into a hot car.I just stay prepared now with hand fans,iceblocks,ice drinks.They only last a few minutes but they are still quite intense.Before endep,I was getting them every 15mins.They can really send you bonkers.I looked up Gabapentin and it's primarily used for preventing epilepsy so that's interesting.I guess you'll know in a few weeks whether it's helping enough.Just out of interest,how much is it?I only pay $8.40 for 50 endep tablets which amazed me.Keep us posted.
