Study says Paxil reduces hot flashes

Quote:
The drug paroxetine, sold under the brand name Paxil by pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline Plc, cut in half the number of hot flashes suffered by women in the study. The study was funded by the firm and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

I do have to wonder just how many things one drug can be used for....Paxil is very commonly used to help prevent migraines in migraine sufferers as well as in its originally intended role as an anti-depressant.

I have a friend who takes Paxil and coincidentally suffers from hot flashes.

Let's put it this way, if the Paxil is helping her with her power surges, I'd hate to see how badly she'd be suffering without it.

Other side effects include lower libido in women and taking the lead out of a man's pencil, if you know what I mean

No wonder I didn't have any when I took it.
