Hi everyone
I know some of you on here have suffered from night sweats whilst taking Sertraline, and up until recently I hadn't really had them (I did the first time round, a few years ago, but not this time).
I've been on 100mg for almost four months now, and I've persevered with the sometimes awful side-effects (upset stomach, loss of appetite, increased anxiety) until they've pretty much disappeared. But all of a sudden I am now experiencing the most HORRIFIC night sweats.
I fall asleep (eventually) then wake every fifteen minutes or so absolutely drenched in sweat to the point where I'm shivering, absolutely soaking wet and have to get out of bed to change my PJs (several times a night) and also get a towel to sleep on (several times) since my bed sheets are also soaked through (as well as the towel). I suffer from insomnia anyway, so I'm used to the lack of sleep, but this is taking it to a whole new extreme.
I've had this for the last five nights in a row and it isn't getting better. Has anyone else experienced this all of a sudden, and if so, did it go away? Other than this, I am very happy with Sertraline now having passed all the initial side-effects. I don't want to come off it, and I'm certainly not ready to, but if this carries on for much longer, I think I will have to...
Thank you for reading x
