Both Effexor (vanlafaxine) and Paxil (paroxetine) are prescribed for hot flashes as alternatives to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) for controlling menopause symptoms. Effexor and Paxil are SSRIs that were originally developed for depression.Dealing with menopause and hot flashes is best accomplished through a combination of diet, healthy lifestyle and natural medicines. This webmaster is 53 years old, and going through menopause. My doctor tried to prescribe a HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) for me, and I refused it. After researching the most commonly prescribed HRT, there was no way I was going to put something into my body that was derived from pregnant horses' urine. My research also unearthed the treatment of these horses and the dangerous side effects connected to taking a HRT. Recently, the seizure medicine Gabapentin was tested and used to control hot flashes and menopausal symptoms. How ridiculous is that? My sister started her kitchen on fire while taking the prescribed dosage of Gabapentin (for a different health problem).Join me and many others that will not be led like a blind fool into using a HRT, anti-depressant, or seizure drug; and use instead natural remedy products that are 100% safe, and proven, for effective relief of menopause symptoms that don't have dangerous and harmful side effects.
