Which Of The Medicines, Gabapentin, Welbutrin And Effexor, Can Effectively Treat Hot-flashes?
I am taking gabapentin for hot flashes, but it doesn t seem to be working. My doctor suggested Effexor. I was wondering about welbutrin. Also, I gained 40 pounds with in a year when the hot flashes started and I can t seem to lose it. What do you think about these three or any suggestions for anything else?

Hello,
Out of the available options, I feel Effexor is best-placed medication for hot flushes. However, I feel the newer molecule Pristiq can be a better choice over the Effexor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
