I didn't like venlafaxine, tried it earlier this month, only lasted three days, I felt like I had a fever the entire time, so it didn't reduce any night sweats after all.
I'm switching back to tibolone because I'm sensitive to progesterone in a bad way. You could try it.
Last time I was on tibolone everything was great, I had the occassional hot flush, but all my mood symptoms vanished like magic and I didn't even need an AD any more. For me it replaces all three parts of HRT and the AD as well.
I've suffered on since being taken off tibolone and now I'm allowed to take it again

(all due to their problems, not mine) I hope I settle quickly on it, took a couple of months last time.
