@Rim24 I am also very drug sensitive, Chemo unfortunately threw me into an unnatural menopause in 2015, it was so severe and I hadn't even started my Arimidex at that point. The only thing I can honestly say that has settled mine is time, I probably only get maybe 5 a day if Im lucky, its not as bad. I do take Magnesium but I think that takes a long time to accumulate and I havent heard that used for Hot Flushes to be honest. Effexor I tried twice and couldnt stomach it, so if you are drug sensitive as I am, you won't be able to take anything for it. There is no quick fix to stop it and sounds like surgical or medical induced is still severe unfortunately. Lots of ladies will tell you they carry spray bottles, wear layers to strip when needed. Even legs out the bed helps alot!!! Sorry couldnt help more, hugs Melinda xo
