Hot Flashes and Symptoms

Posted by miked77 @miked77, Mar 29 4:28pm

This question is just because of my curiosity. I have been on Testosterone blockers (Orgovyx) for 17 months and I get hot flashes somewhat frequently. During the day, there is no warning--I just start getting hot for a couple minutes. During the night when sleeping, it is different. My legs and feet start hurting which wakes me up. Then, a minute or two later, I get the hot flash.
So, I am asking if anyone else has similar symptoms? During the day, it is no big deal. At night, it wakes me up and takes me awhile to get back to sleep.
Just Curious.

Interesting discussion re Venlafaxine/Effexor. I've been taking Paroxetine and it helps reduce frequency and intensity of 'flashes' but maybe a switch would improve things.

"maxvt", could you provide some kind of link to good research info??
Thanks for posting and more power to you all with the 'flashes'!
