Today I visited my gp I have been going through the menopause fot 2yrs now but I can no longer bear it hot sweats every hour day night I needed something she listened and gave me efexor xl 75mg when I got them home I ve been reading the side effects and they give you hot sweats along with lots more side effects this frightens me and I don t think I want to take it I only wanted the swrats to stop what do you think
