Sertraline - night sweats and feel weak and knackered in mornings
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi
Any thoughts on this at all
I am on 50mg for anxiety attacks and low mood having lost my job
But feel tired esp in morning and weak and am having night sweats a lot
Are these side effects and will they pass do you think ?
Been on it 3 weeks - starting to thing the side effects as bad as the original problem
Cheers

Hey Rich - I think it does. I take mine late evening (about 8.30) - main reason is I have an hour's drive to work and didn't want to be drowsy. Must admit if I wake in the night I do feel a bit unsteady on my feet.

Hello, I have been on sertraline 50mg for 3 wks has of last thursday and I still have side effects or its my anixty. I'm not sure which one. The side effects and the anixty have the same effect it seems like. I'm sorry you lost your job and I hope you feel better.

Thanks
Yes I know what u mean
Hard to know if waking up in a sweat is anxiety or side effect isn't it
Mornings tend to be worse for me
Hope u feel better too

Hello,
My Dr. Up my dose to 75mg last friday.I finally got the courage too take it last night. I'm hoping this higher dosage helps. I have the sweats @ night and during the day. Thank-You.

Hi Rich
ive been on Setraline for 10 weeks now. First 3 weeks on 50mg were hell. My GP increased my dose to 100mg & then after another 3 weeks to 150mg. Every time you increase your dose it takes 3 weeks to feel the full effects. But trust me. As painful & as horrible these side effects are,stick with it until you find the correct dose for you. I've had no panic attacks & much calmer despite having loads going on in my life at the moment. I still get the odd "down"day but that's usually on a weekend if I've drunk alcohol. Good luck on your journey.

Did u go through a phase of low energy and then it picked up ?
Just a real struggle to find the energy to get out of bed last day or 2

I had no energy or motivation to do anything for about5/6 weeks. It does come back though. Try & ride the storm.
