I only recognize this because I guy I was dating would get terrible night sweats whenever he quit smoking. It must be super annoying and hopefully you'll find some solution!

This is making me want to *start* smoking! 😉

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My gyne just told me about a non-hormonal med called Veozah that specifically targets hot flashes and sleep. It works on the brain and is supposed to be very effective. But if your nights sweats aren’t due to menopause, it may not be the right fit. Hope to hear this hellaciousness is solved soon!

I'm considering all options at this point! :)

I miss you. I went to text you and realize I lost your number in a phone switch in the past years. Look up Buspirone. It’s similar to Prozac but more for anxiety and not classified as an SSRI so maybe it would be a better fit. Text me so we can reconnect. 💖

Argh, so frustrating, right?! I take solace that we are all going through similar things at the same time... Thanks so much for reading, Gina! ❤️

I can't believe the journey Nikki went through with Prozac and perimenopause. It's wild how mental health and women's health can collide like that. Impressive writing! 🌟👏
