Hot flashes + anxiety + migraine?

They help with:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Depression
Anxiety

She avoids Topamax + Depakote—too many side effects for women already dealing with brain fog.

Thinking about hysterectomy for migraine relief?
Dr. Susan Hutchinson says: don’t.

Surgical menopause from ovary removal can worsen migraines.
It’s a sudden hormonal crash.

If surgery is necessary (like for cancer), build a strong migraine prevention plan—before and after.

Perimenopause can mean more meds—for a while.
Dr. Susan Hutchinson says it's a temporary phase.
Once you're fully menopausal, many women can reduce or stop treatment.

Supplements?
Try black cohosh, red clover, or soy—but avoid soy if you have estrogen-sensitive cancer.

Taking migraine medication while breastfeeding?
LactMed is a great resource for meds that are not safe. Waiting 4–6 hours before nursing can help reduce exposure.
Freezing extra milk or having formula ready gives flexibility during tough migraine attacks.
Plan ahead. Protect your baby.

You deserve treatment that works—and protects your baby.
