ANS: A
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), and sertraline (Zoloft), have been used to reduce vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes. The anticonvulsant gabapentin (Neurontin) has also been used. This woman is not a candidate for estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy for two reasons: she has not had a hysterectomy and she has a history of DVT. She is not a candidate for estrogen-progestin therapy because of her previous history of DVT.
