I finally mentioned my hot flashes to my doctor today, after a couple of years of periodic melting. The past few months have been daily though, like 5-10 per day/night. It is not any fun.

The doctor ordered a thyroid test for me as well as recommended that I try black cohosh or estroven for 6 weeks. I'm hoping that this works for me ~ I really don't want to have to take another pharmaceutical. {I already take effexor xr for my depression.}

Have you seen your doctor about your hot flashes yet? Any luck?
