Hi InkPetal
I suffered with the same issues as you describe, extreme night sweats and hot flushes so bad I thought I would black out! I was also so totally fed up with taking and being prescribed more and more medications that I went on a serious hunt for a more natural approach to the problem as I didn't want to end up with extra side effects. Through a lot of research and with the help of my integrative GP I found a combination that works wonders for me. I take Sage capsules (I use Hilda Hemmes Herbals brand 1000mg) and take Fusion brand Menopause tablets, one of each morning and night. I also drink plenty of sage tea throughout the day, you can make it into iced tea if you prefer to drink something cold. It took a little while to really start helping but my hot flushes are now almost non-existent and I don't get the sweats anymore at all. I don't even carry my little fold out fan around with me now LOL!
Good luck hun, hope it helps.
