Hi Ladies, well it's been a couple of weeks and i think i can safely report the outcome now. I wont get too excited about Gabapentin getting rid of the hot flushes because it doesn't. It definitely has stopped the severity of them. Touch wood it has reduced my nightly ones down to nearly zero, except for at 7pm and 11pm, i don't seem to have anymore until i wake up at 3am. My day time flushes were and still are a problem although they are no where as strong as they were They still take hold during the day and i end up soaking wet but as long as i can get to a fan or aircon on full blast then i'm ok for a while. Not really helpful is it.
I will stick it out on gabapentin until my next 3 mthly appointment visit as i think i would like it reduced abit more than it is to be-able to function properly when i start work again. Maybe something else might be better , we will see. Speak soon cheers Jo xx
