Meclazine helped me with hot flashes. I Was taking it for 2 years and stopped. Long term side effects. Was told to stop after 2 years

Not Colleen, but have some info. Developed pins and needles in my feet (neuropathy) and had difficulty sleeping. My primary care prescribed Gabapentin and this was supported by the oncologist who noted the benefits for hot flashes. It works for all of the above. Nice to have one script work for 3 complaints .

Spyguy again with a clarification. The Gabapentin HELPS but does not eliminate the symptoms mentioned. Good luck
