As I understand it (and I may be wrong!) all these symptoms can be exhibited in the peri-menopause which can start up to ten years before the menopause proper. The fun just never ends!

Has anyone heard of taking low dose anti-depresants to offset the hot flashes?
My doctor prescribed me 37.5mg one tablet daily of Effexor to reduce mentopause symptoms. I took it for two nights and yes the flashes were lessened but I did not like the way it kept me up during the night so I stopped taking it. She suggested I take it during the day then but I have not tried. I'm just suffering through them

Aunt Flo overstays her welcome?! LOL
I haven't tried antidepressants for hot flashes, but my hubby might need some tranquilizers.

I'm on Menoherbs II which contain these ingredients:
Wild Yam Root, Black Cohosh Root, Red Clover Leaf, Dong Quai Root, Raspberry, Vitex, Siberian Ginseng, Partridge Berry, Nettle Leaf, Grape Seed Extract.
They seem to have reduced the intensity of the hot flushes by a significant amount. I've had no flushes or headaches for two weeks now but - surprise, surprise -Aunt Flo (love it, marezee!) turned up this morning after a prolonged absence!
Anyway, the alternative route may be worth looking into before diving straight into HRT or just putting up with it.

soy can help too (has other health benefits also)
won't notice a change overnight, but after several months many women find a decrease in symptoms such as the night sweats - it's one of those situations where some say yes it helps and others say no it doesn't
bears discussion with your md/midwife/nurse practitioner

The impending arrival of Aunt Flo keeps my headaches at bay but once she's here they come back again. Hobson's choice, really.
(Reading that back sounds like I'm a spy talking in code!)

I suppose we have to laugh at it or we would go insane!
Or maybe we are insane and that's why we're laughing!!!!
I think we are already there.
