When I have hot flashes (I am taking Tamoxifen) I have feelings like needles sticking me, on my head, face, arms and legs. I can stand the hot sweats better than the "stickings." The sticking is only when I get the hot spells.
Is this normal, or do I have something else wrong with me?
P.S. I am taking Effexor for hot flashes. It helps some, but I want to sleep all the time, so I believe I will stop it when my prescription runs out. (I had the needle sticking feeling before I started the Effexor, and with it both)
Thank you for answering my, and others, questions!
