hot flashes
"I was prescribed Neurontin to treat neuropathy caused by chemotherapy.  The chemo had also caused menopause, and that was accompanied by numerous and horrible hot flashes and night sweats.  I honestly felt like I was going to spontaneously combust.  While on the Neurontin, the hot flashes were reduced, but I did not make a connection to the med, and when I was taken off of it (because it wasn't effective for my neuropathy), the hot flashes returned with a vengeance.  While searching online for alternative remedies for hot flashes (I can't take HRT due to cancer), I learned that Neurontin was effective and I made the connection from my previous use of the med.  I went back on it (300mgx3) and the hot flashes are under control again."
