Hi I have been having hot flushes for 18 months now, due to a thrombosis I am unable to take HRT. Have been to a menopause clinic and been told there is nothing that works apart from HRT. I did try citalopram which is a anti-depressant, which did work and still does for my sister, although the doctors don't know why it does. Not keen to take antidepressant really, but have tried virtually every other thing available as my hot sweats are dire. The problem is I feel smelly, stale my DH calls it, lovely eh. I remember the older ladies when I was younger had this strange sweet smell and that is what I am sure I smell like. I have tried all the really strong deodorants but still get wet and horrible.
Is it just me or part of the menopause!
