At 61 and having suffered with severe hot flashes, irritability, anxiety and erratic sleep patterns for over 2 years my GP has today prescribed the above. I rarely visit the doctor or take medication and am a bit horrified on reading possible side effects. Just wondering what other people’s experience of this is ?

It didn’t work for the hot flushes for me at all paz57 and made me slightly light headed so I gave up .

My GP gave me this..It has worked but not as effectively as Id hoped,
I dont want to try HRT becasue the side affects worry me..I dont know what the answer is, Herbal stuff hasn't proved any good.
