Why Do I Get Bad Hot Flashes And Feel Very Low And Depressed?
I have been given Elleste Dute 2mg tablets for the menopause. I get once a month a week of really bad hot flushes and feel very low and depressed then it is like a light switch i come out of it and have hot flushes but not so many and so no bad. Worried these tablets will cause more problems.

Hi,
Thanks for writing here.
Firstly i want to tell you that these symptoms you described are because of menopausal crisis and elleste dute tab is for reduction of these symptoms.
To ease out with hot flushes,wear light clothing,keep your bedroom cool at night,try to reduce stress levels by doing yoga and meditation,avoid triggers like caffeine,spicy food.
You should see your doctor for regular check-ups [at least once a year] while on this tablet.
With regards,
Dr.Akash Jain.
