Those flushes etc.. can be terrible. Your body is doing things you seem to have no control over.
I also had a hard time initialy, after the first chemotherapy.. way back in 1998. No one told me.it would be as bad. I persevered, but I think.. try to get onto something early.
I did not try Endep, but I think they are quite good to reduce severity of flushing and other symptoms.
I am now on Zoloft, a seretonin reuptake inhibitor.
50 mgs.
I might decrease to 25 mgs eventually. I am also on Livial, plus use an oesgtrogen pessary twice a week.
My severe flushes are gone now ( took a few years ) and then night sweats ( also ok now ), mood changes, ( ok ) irritability, creepy crawly skin, cognitive changes, low libido, dry vagina, urinary stmptoms ..etc etc... are manageable.
Good luck.. Kathy.
