I have been on Remefemin for hot flushes, I was having about 6 or 7 flushes through the day and probably 3 or 4 really bad ones through the night. Remefemin is a herbal tablet you can get from the chemist, cheap and they have totally stopped the flushes for me. I'm sleeping the whole night through now! I started having 2 a day, but now I find that just one at night does the job.
I was also suggested Effexor, but I didn't want to start taking anti-depressants, even alow dose one, as I'd be too scared of becoming too reliant.
I also would have LOVED a cooling mat for throughout chemo, I felt hot all the time...maybe someone should do a post about them?
