Many choices: A top choice to discuss with your provider is an old blood pressure medicine clonidine--taken in low doses at night--it blocks nightly hot flashes and sweats. Other choices include dressing in light wicking material, thermostat down, personal fan, avoid triggers like alcohol, chocolate, spicy foods, caffeine. Some try tofu, tempeh, roasted soy nuts, licorice, black cohosh-estrogen like substances.
