  • Hi

    well I’ve been taking it for just over a yr. I get a bit of joint pain but bearable, still get night sweats... bearable ....although interrupted sleep is another known symptom I’ve been ok on that count. Going with the usual things ( which u have prob already tried)... no naps through the day, get out nd about nd keep active nd no big meals too close to bed time. Gotta admit if I fall asleep through the day ( reading book in warm conservatory usually results in nap) then yes don’t sleep as soundly as normal.... not the meds fault for me :-). 

    Has it always been a problem since taking them? If you were ok before then speak with the doctor he might can change them for something else. 

    Hope u get sorted nd sorry I could just come up with the same old same old. Take care hun x
