> obgyn is that a gybi for women problems? my mum gets hot flushes and she was given hormone pills.. strange he mentioned effexor for this purpose, just gonna cause you mental health probs in the long run if you dont have any..
"I have been weaned off the HRT after many years and new studies show several antidepressant drugs work well for the hot flashes with effexor being the best - studies show relief in 1 week, the next best one was paxil and then fluoxetine" i think the key here is that they use smaller doses for controlling hot flashes that if taking for mental health problems...but the side effects I've been reading here as scary" thx for your response...kc
