CHICAGO — Women looking for a natural remedy for a common menopause problem have a disappointment: A new study has found that eating flaxseed does not curb hot flashes. Dr. Sandhya Pruthi of the Mayo Clinic, who led the research, said women who don’t want to take hormones for menopause symptoms might consider certain antidepressants, such as Effexor, or other drugs such as Neurontin that well-done studies have shown can help. Results were reported Sunday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago.
