Hi Dianne,I have been having hot flushes for 7 years now...so before I got BC.I am on Tamoxifen,and just recently my flushes got really bad.Like you,blanket on,blanket off,fan always at the ready,and sleep with a fan going all night ,next to our bed.I blogged about them a couple of times,and even counted and recorded how many I was having,in the hope that I would see a pattern! The only pattern was lots!!! However,just lately,( the last couple of weeks) they seem to be reducing in frequency! I dare not say it out loud Incase they hear me and come back!!!!I was offered the same anti depressant as you,but I have no intention of taking it.For me it's just about staying cool,wearing layers so I can throw somethi ng off quickly,drinking COLD water to cool your core temp,and not stressing! Take care and stay in touch.xoxRobyn
