> My mother is finally going off the estrogen because of the unending bad news about HRT, the most recent regarding a correlation with increased risk of dementia. She's considering an antidepressant to replace the estrogen, especially to control frequent hot flashes. It seems Paxil CR has gotten a lot of good press for controlling this. But I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten us more on that. My other thoughts were probably a very low dose of either Effexor or Celexa.

I can only give you my experiences: Effexor actually gives me hot flashes but helps with anxiety. Paxil was quite sedating for me and I gained weight on it. Sorry, I don't have any info regarding Celexa. Can someone else help with ideas? Hot flashes are nasty.
