Hot Flashes
"I was having severe hot flashes (about every hour) and night sweats and couldn&#039;t take hormones and most treatments because of my blood clotting condition (Factor V Leiden).  I even tried acupuncture (which did help for awhile) and compounds and everything.  Anyway, a new doctor I saw at my Dr&#039;s office wanted me to try a low dose of gabapentin (100mg 1x daily at night)... so I did.  It didn&#039;t take long to completely stop the hot flashes.  I only took it for awhile and they pretty much stayed away for years.  If and when they flare up again I take the gaba again and they&#039;re gone.  From what I&#039;ve been reading my dosage is extremely low, but hey.. it worked for me.  Oh... and I was originally prescribed this about 10 years ago."
