I got a prescription filled for some but took it for two nights; just didn't want to be on another medication

@asolidrock, I'll also tag members like @over80bob @dmougey @drawevets @zotmormon along with @rdslmks, who have considered taking venlafaxine (Effexor) to help manage hot flashes from ADT.

I'll also add that venlafaxine is an antidepressant, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). When you no longer require the drug, please be advised to taper slowly to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

@asolidrock, did you decide not to take Effexor?
