    I am having my menopause and am now 51 years old. My main problem has been with the hot flushes. I am keen to try something different to HRT and believe that anti-depressants are used with success.

        @shagun Hi A number of studies recently have shown that antidepressants can be effective in reducing hot flushes. The two drugs were venlafaxine and paroxetine and the flushes were reduced by over 50%. The drug clonidine (dixarit) which is used for treating high blood pressure can also be effective in reducing the severity of flushes in about one third of women.
