Is Venlafaxine Intake Safe After A Hysterectomy?

I have taken Premarin since my hysterectomy at about age 42..(most recently took the .45mg) I am now 65. My Dr. wants to give me Venlafaxine as an alternative but I am concerned about the side effects. I have tried using nothing since September and I have hot flashes day and night. Concerned about dementia. What do you recommend?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1) First of all do not panic.
2)I usually suggest my patients to use phytoestrogens instead.
Capsule ISOFLVONE one at night for 4 to 6 months is advisable.
Along with it, a healthy lifestyle adoption is the key.
3)I will suggest indulging in a healthy lifestyle, a healthy diet and regular exercise regime. Include more fruits, salads and vegetables in the diet. Drink plenty of water in a day. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery items and refined sugars. Also, start on Vitamin B 12, Folic acid and Omega 3, vitamin D, Iron and Calcium supplements.
Indulge in recreational activities and brain games, to avoid risk of dementia.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
