I found an article on a study that demonstrated that Paxil was effective in reducing hot flashes in menopausal women. An unexpected side effect for me in the very near future. Here's the studyhttp://tinyurl.com/c5a3j

I read about that too and also saw it on the local news. I asked my pharmacist and she says that some women report a decrease/takes the edge off of hot flashes. I thought mine may have decreased but I still do get them.

Yes, apparently SSRIs reduce hot flashes. My wife takes Effexor. Note that it does not eliminate them but it definitely reduces them.

It may reduce hot flashes but it can cause really bad night sweats too.
