Venlafaxine 75mg advice

Hello Philippa (Terrified wife ) 

Thank you for your post - the PSA results are brilliant, however i can't help with the Venlafaxine.

I did however suffer from terrible hot flushes. Sage Tablets (Menoforce) sorted them out for me, and after a week on them I haven't had another one - and I am still on the sage 4 years on. They don't work for everyone and are a tad expensive.You should also check with his team before using them.

I hope the above helps and you get answers on the Venlafaxine.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks, just got him some so he will try that first before starting the venlafaxine 

Hi Philippa, my partner takes it and has had improvements in his hot flashes and mood:) no problems with insomnia yet.

That’s great, thanks for replying, anything’s worth a shot at the moment 

Hi I have nust completed my chemo. And also take relugolix. My problem of excessive sweating has increased too much. I read up on thr net and came across venlafaxine whichbis basically a anti depressant but it has an off label use in thermo regulation.

But i am afraid of its side effects and withdrawl effects when i stop it.

Has anyone been taking venlafaxine for controlling hot sweatd and sweating? Any success?

Good evening Philippa (and everyone else),

Thank you for sharing your concerns.

I have recently been prescribed venlafaxine to take along with tamoxifen. I am also worried about the impacts and side effects and not sure what to do. I came on here hoping to talk to others who have more knowledge.

Any advice greatly appreciated
