I have been taking Sertraline for about 18 months now and I think it has helped me a lot. However, one thing I am now plagued with, which seems to have coinsided with when I started to take it, is night sweats.
I know that hot flushes are listed as a sdie effect, but this is FAR worse than this. I would say about 4-5 nights a week I wake up and I'm sweating so much it's like I've just got out of shower. It's totally gross!!!
My bedroom is not too warm and I don't feel too hot when I gp to bed. The Dr has done blood tests to see if anything abnormal shows up, but that's all OK.
I would be really interested to know if anyone else suffers with this. I don't want to come off it or change if it's nothing to do with the Sertraline, but it's become a real problem in my life!!!
Here's hoping

though. They sound very similar to yours, I often have to change the bed in the night.

This is so interesting. I have a memory foam pillow. Also really struggling with night sweats.
What was the outcome of changing your mattress?
I tried to wean myself off Serlife - halving the dose - after 3 months I couldnt cope. Back on 50mg. Coping much better but these dam sweats!

years ago i was put sertraline and found i suffered from hard core sweating. so the doctors switched me to citalopram and i think i can remember the sweats going away. just recently ive had to go back on anti-depressents and have been put back on sertraline and once again am finding i sweat a lot so am going to ask to go back on to citalopram again. its a shame really as i find sertraline works really well, its just the sweating is becoming unbearable.
