Sertraline sweats

started 50mg Sertraline back in December 2020. didnt help my anxiety so went up to 100mg in the morning. I always take it at 9am. come 1pm the core temperature and sweats start and its so horrible. I've had blood tests they're all fine. I don't drink alcohol. I'm a man so it's not menopause. anyway the doc suggested splitting dose to 50mg morning and 50mg at night which did help the sweats and flushed feeling. Now I've gone up to 150mg , 100mg at night and 50mg morning. the dreams are so vivid every night they usually revolve around my anxieties. This increase has made me feel horrible, mostly with temperature fluctuations and sweating. again had blood tests done this week and they're fine.

I also get dizziness on this increased dose. its awful. I'd say this is the worst drug I've been on for anxiety as the side effects spike my anxiety.

I've lost a tiny bit of weight on these since December also. is there any other anti depression med that works for anxiety disorders that doesn't cause this horrible temperature and sweating?

I've seen a lot online about Sertraline causing sweats. I don't notice them so much at night because I'm pretty sedated and get a good eight hours. but the flushing and sweats is embarrassing worrying even though they're a side effect and annoying.
