I turned 54 in Nov 2011. I had my last period in Dec 2011, and hot flashes began in Jan 2012. I can deal w/ the hot flashes. For the last 3 months I wake up after 3-4 hours sleep, and I cannot go back to sleep. It is debilitating. My doc prescribed Silenor because he said it helps with interrupted sleep. It seems to work periodically; I have an awful 5-7 nights, then a few nights of good rest. I am now trying Amberen (today is day 1) and getting off the Silenor. Concerned about mixing too many drugs and supplements. If someone has a solid relief for interrupted sleep, please share!
