    hey,

    yes nights sweats happened to me too. It used to happen every night for a few wks, I switched to a lighter comforter and found it didn't happen as often and now it's been a lot better the last 2 wks

      oh no. mine has gotten better the longer I am on it. never thought about it being brand name. I am in Canada and my pharmacist told me they tell us if it changes. I have been on the meds for 21 wks in total but 11 wks on the 150mg dose and it has gotten better at night time. have you been on 3 months with the same dose?

      hi again

      yes i have been in the same brand for 3 months it s quite a low dose at 25mg but i still had pretty bad side effects with them.

      Then this last batch was a different generic brand and i noticed a few side effects again .

      I am going to go the pharmacy tomorrow to ask for my original brand as everything was settled with those.

      Glad this settled for you !
