"Took EPO for about 2 months. Made no difference to hot flushes. Have stopped taking as I was getting an increase in heart palpitations. Since stopping, heart palpitations have lessened. This does not seem to be an official side effect, but there is anecdotal evidence on the web."

Evening primrose "Nothing short of a miracle! I had at least a half dozen hot flashes a day (and nights) and couldn’t sleep. Within days of taking 1000 mg a day, I noticed less of them and less severe. Now, a month in, I have almost no hot flashes."

"I've been taking 1 EPO (1000 mg) nightly for the past 6 evenings, and last night was the first night that I can say I had absolutely no night sweat or hot flash. In fact, I've also been able to stop taking gabapentin for my fibromyalgia and get a good, restful night of sleep. It's now my go-to for both my menopausal and nerve pain!"
