Hi Ladies
It has been a while since I have been on here!!
I have struggled through my menopause journey until I was diagnosed as being severely intolerant to all forms of Progesterone after suffering many allergic reactions trying different HRTs.
Four years ago, after researching myself,I read about a new HRT Duavive, which used Bazedoxifene instead of Progesterone and my Consultant agreed to prescribe it due to my debilitating hot flushes.
For four years I have been flush free and finally had my life back!!!
Three months ago I was told by my Pharmacist Duavive had been recalled and now it has been discontinued!😔
The hot flushes/sweats returned with avengance after just a week of stopping Duavive and once again I am struggling to function!
In the past I did try Gabapentin, which only worked for a short time so do not want to try that again. Hoping to get an appointment with the GP next week, but just wanted to ask if anyone has had success with non-hormonal treatments for flushes?
I am now 62 Post-Meno, but still experiencing severe hot flushes/sweats (started when I was 47).
Many thanks
