Baz55, 

I have been prescribed Venalfaxine for my hot flashes. Would like to hear from anyone on it how they are getting on with it and possible side effects??

    I haven't had that but I have had good results with acupuncture, they put 5 pins in each ear.

    Hope this helps

    Well I have been around the Community for almost 3 years and never come across this particular medication to stop hot flushes. I have come across it in the family. Here's the link to the NHS description of the medication:

    I cured my hot flushes with Sage tablets, but they don't work for everyone.

    Best wishes - Brian.
