HI,
Livial is a good alternative to HRT. However if it is not helping then other medications are available for control of distressing hot flushes. Clonidine is one such drug. Consult your Doctor regarding the same. Also life style modification including dietary adjustments and regular exercise will help.
Hope this helps.
