Are you taking any supplements ? Don't have many ideas, what about menopace, good diet, excercise ? Its a bit of a hit and miss really like HRT we are all different. Hope you find something x

What are the health reasons for not using HRT?    Increasing your intake of Phytoestrogens can help some women with flushes and also comes in the supplement Red Clover. If you have a breast cancer risk because you have a mother or sister with breast cancer then you need to be careful about increasing phytoestrogens in your diet so ask your doctor if you can do this.
Perhaps your should try an SSRI like Citalopram which can be good for controlling sweats and anxiety?
