Avatar f tn since I began chemo a year and a half ago, after bilateral mastectomy with lymph removal. I have been on tamoxifen for almost a year now and still have hot flashes, vaginal dryness and itching, leg pain and swelling. I also take synthroid (after treatment of graves disease years ago). My OB/GYN suggested an antidepressant for the hot flashes and vaginal dryness, but I've since heard that it can reduce the effects of Tamoxifen.
Avatar n tn I am on this zoloft medication for two days and have been getting hot flashes all day. I am a 34 y/o male and wanted to know if this is common in men. As well I am super anxious and irritable in only 2 days of taking this medication. Can someone please shed some light?
Avatar n tn Yep, welcome to Tamoxifen. Those are all glorious side effects. Suggestion...try changing when you take Tamoxifen (try a couple weeks in the morning, couple weeks in the evening...couple weeks midday), take it with food...and also make sure you drink plenty of water in the day. I take mine usually midday now and the hot flashes have calmed down along with the mood swings.
Avatar n tn I am 25 male and been on lipitor 20mg for almost 2 months. No side effects.
Avatar f tn I recently had a cyst removed about the size of a grape from my left ovary, however when we went into surgery my dr found one the size of my uterus behind my uterus attached to my right ovary. As a result due to shape n size n history my dr removed my rt ovary. I cannot go on birth control since I've had breast cancer 2 yrs before. I'm currently 37. & feel the effects of hot flashes. I'm just wondering is this to be expected? & if so what else should I expect.
929728 tn?1256162688 When I was on clomid I never have cramp but i did realize my moods changed quickly. hot flashes, i didn't experience that.. Take your clomid at night is the best.. One side effect for me was my uterine lining getting thinner... i have to switch clomid to femera.
1530658 tn?1299766324 Round 1 of 50mg Clomid days 3-7 and I had sever hot flashes. every couple of hours around the clock. 2nd round of Clomid 100mg, days 3-7 easy round, no side effects. 3rd round of Clomid 100mg and my Hot Flashes are out of control! I literally break out in sweats every hour on the hour and this happens all night while I am sleeping. Does anyone else have bad hot flashes from Clomid? Does it go away?
Avatar f tn After this and beginning the Tamoxifen ,I suffered severe depression, hot flashes, excessive sweating . I began Effexor and found it helped the depression but not the flashes. Now a year later, I have started having severe ups and downs and mood swings and the sweating still there among other things. I have been taking the B1 and E suggested. can not find the periden c. no help I finally am seeing an M.D.
Avatar n tn Hey. I didn't have those side effects from clomid. I took 50 mg days 3-7. The main thing I noticed was hot flashes. I took the pills at night to help with some of the symptoms. Also when ovulation occurred I had horrible cramping and when my cycle finally came (which the clomid made it late) I had horrible PMS. However the clomid did show me ovulating but still no baby. Good luck !
994212 tn?1280630056 Started when I began taking them on cd-3. My side effects were not too bad on the 100mg and symptoms/side effects went away much quicker.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had daily headaches with metformin or hot flashes? Also does anyone know how long it takes for it to work?
Avatar f tn I developed hot flashes while on these medications. My understanding is that they can treat hot flashes.....why would they be causing them in me? 40 year old female.
Avatar f tn Hot flashes and bloating is very common. I tried taking clomid at night and felt much better as you sleep through most of it. Never felt face on fire but did have some heat related issues, especially while sleeping. It caused me to overheat at night and have bad bad dreams.
Avatar f tn I know that Clomid does stay in your body longer, hence the accumulated side effects. But I've never read about hot flashes during the 2nd 1/2 of your cycle. WOW I hope this is it for you! Good luck!!
Avatar n tn do all women experience hot flashes with tamoxifen. and if not does this mean that the drug is not working This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/685418'>Tamoxifen or AI?</a>.
Avatar f tn There is in fact a program in place to study the side effects of the use of drugs like Lipitor and covers the CoQ10 deficiency problem. Please discuss this with your Dr. to find out about the possibility of Q10 supplementation. Please do your own research, and always check with your health care professional before making any decisions regarding your health. Hope this helps you find the answers you are looking for. Post again if you have any questions.
1320252 tn?1290190343 Hi I did 5 rounds of clomid up to 150mg, my side effects varied from hot flashes, mood swings, dizzy spells, bloating, blurred vision and thinned lining. I personally hated that drug, but it didn't work for me if it had I might feel differently. Dizziness is a side effect if you get too concerned just call your doctor. I actually have less side effects from injectables! I hope this cycle works for you it does have a high success rate.
2044839 tn?1331255841 I was recently tried on Zoloft and I thought the side effects I was having were withdrawls from my Effexor and new side effects from the Zoloft ... but it turned out I am allergic to the Zoloft and was having a reaction to it!
Avatar f tn Hello & SO sorry for your discomfort. I suffered terribly from hotflashes-to the point of it ruining my life! I tried hormone replacement therapy & everything from black cohosh...to anything else you can imagine. I finally found a total help in the oddest place LOL. A friend sent me to a psychic, because she felt so bad for the decline in my life! Anyway, this psychic recommended taking turmeric powder- 1/5 of a teaspoon 3 times a week. I thought, what the heck?
282955 tn?1394730951 I had my first round of clomid this month in January-08 and I only had a few side of effects like being dizzy,had hot flashes @ night mild though,felt bloated a little pain in the pelivc area,and basically thats it , but be glad you do not have side effects well good luck and god bless.
1106767 tn?1315050974 i was told it mimics menopause. and that explains my side effects: hot flashes, moody/weepy, super bloated, etc.
612876 tn?1355514495 They just started me on Midodrine too and I am having hot flashes and my appetite went away. Its not listed on the side effects but i think it is because i didnt have it before i started the meds. Im 23 so I'm sure its not menopause.
Avatar f tn Some women don't get hot flashes. If you do start getting them talk to your Dr about hormone therapy. Are you doing alright 11 days post-op? Are you following Drs orders and taking things easy?
Avatar n tn I am now trying to wean myself off the Effexor and the side effects are significant (vertigo, confusion...) and the hot flashes seem worse than ever! Is there anything I can do to reduce or eliminate these without antidepressants? I need some help, it is impacting my quality of life and it is very uncomfortable at work. I appreciate any suggestions.
Avatar m tn Last night was my third night taking 37.5 effexor. I've been waking up nauseous, jittery and anxious. I take it at bedtime because it makes me nauseous and I find I get a good nights rest. I take it for panic attacks and hot flashes! I'm 50 year old woman. I had a panic attack yesterday. Are these normal side effects?
Avatar f tn Hi, HRT should be taken in the appropriate doses. Higher doses will lead to side effects of the drug. If the hot flashes are too distressing then additional medications like clonidine may help. Clonidine is an anti-hypertensive drug that also helps with the hot flashes. Consult your Doctor. Take care & good luck.
