Doc said he had just been to a GYN seminar and that they endorsed the usage of Effexor XR speficically for treatment of hormonal fluctuations in perimenopausal women. According to him,safe to use herbals along with it. Has cut down immensely on PMS, I was the B*tch Queen!!!!!! Now just once in a while it flares up, not nearly as bad.
This was from my family doctor, too, by the way. My GYN is the same age as me, and don't know if he didn't want to feel middle aged or what, but kept brushing off my complaints, telling me I was too young for all that. HELLO!!!!! I think I know what I'm feeling, after all, my mom was done with menopause by age 45, and I'm 42!!!!!
Tell your GYN about the Effexor XR and tell her you do NOT want hormones.
I have to run, I'm late for a lunch appt, but will try to find some links about the effexor and flashes and post them later this afternoon!!!! Then you can tell her where you saw it, etc, that it's not just hearsay!!!!
