Being I had cancer, my doctor will not treat me with hormone replacement. I am fine with that, and was put on
Effexor 75
rx. When I first started taking it, I felt like a zombie, but convinced myself to continue longer, and hope the side effects would subside, as they did. So, for a while, the hot flashes subsided and my moods seemed to be consistent. However... it's been 2 months, and I talked with my doctor.
