In reply to doctor pressure to use effexor xr, posted by learner on December 22, 2004, at 7:24:53
Using an AD for hot flashes is an acceptable method. Usually the AD is used in teeny, tiny amounts. If you don't want Effexor ask for Paxil or Pamelor. By the way I used HRT for 5 years and have been off for eight months it is horrible my hot flashes are maybe keep your fingers crossed finally fading. The amount of AD for this use as I said before is small but the problem is when you stop the hot flashes return. I have been told that you just have to deal with it. In a sense that is true they will wear off eventually.
