I am taking medications for epilepsy. I don't want to be on more medications for hot flashes where as I am already taken 3 for my health problem . My health problem is well controled and so far hot flashes have not affected my problem. But does anyone have suggestions on what to do when u feel this hot flash and what do you do when you are in front of people. I also feel this comming on at night when I am in the middle of a nice night of sleep and it awakes me and I need to fan myself to relieve this and go back to sleep but then when I awake I sometimes feel tired.
