Brief Answer:
Following home remedies for hot flashes...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
Unfortunately, you need a prescription for Effexor, which cannot be obtained online (you can refer to terms and conditions section). This is because a thorough consultation and examination is needed before giving the prescription which cannot be done online.
If your doctor is off office, you can try over the counter meds and following remedies until you see your doctor to take prescription:
- primrose oil supplement or black cohosh; some of my patients find it help a mixture of chamomile tea with aloe vera and valerian; you can try it and hope it will work for you too
- anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. ibuprofen)
- avoid wearing tight clothes; avoid drinking alcohol or caffeinated drinks; or eating spicy foods;
- sip ice water when starting to feel hot flashes
- exercise can help
Hope it was of help!
