My doctor prescribed gabapentin for hot flashes. I am reluctant to take this because of all the side effects. Can you tell me if this has been effective to reduce hot flashes? I should tell you that I had a lumpectemy 2 years ago and bypass surgery 3 years ago. The doctor that prescribed this is my Oncologist.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you are female then hot flush are due to hormonal imbalance.  You should check your Mormon level and take treatment accordingly.  Gabapentin may be useful in few cases.  But you should search the cause. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
