A member asked:
I had a bilateral mastectomy in dec., 2010. since then i have suffered violent hot flashes. can you help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk 2 Ur Oncologist: Unfortunately, the best medication to rx hot flashes, estrogen replacement rx (ert), may be contraindicated based on your history of breast cancer. Please discuss with your oncologist: if they cannot offer ert, a low dose of Effexor (venlafaxine) (used at higher doses to rx depression) can help with hot flashes. Good luck.
