"my pcm prescribed it for hot flashes, because i can&#039;t take anything with estrogen, so no hrt for me. i was having 10-12 hot flashes in a 24 hr period.
now i only have 2-3. i must take it at night, because it definitely helps with sleep. i still wake up slightly groggy. and if i have a hot flash it does wake me, but i&#039;m able to go back to sleep. i started with 50mg. but now i take 25. i may try to take it every other night, because i don&#039;t like being on medication. but i am pleased with it. it is also an older drug, so any bad side effects should&#039;ve been discovered by now."
