Brief Answer: you may use natural things. Detailed Answer: Hi there, thanks for asking. Some people experience the side effects of the birth control medications like the ones you mentioned. You may try Paxil that the doctor has mentioned, however, if you want to use a natural substance, you may use soy beans since they have natural steroids. You may also ask your doctor about alpha 2 agonist medications which can control flushing at this stage of life. best wishes
