Hey guys

Has anyone experienced excessive night sweats on Sertraline at all? I don't sweat during the day or anything, I just seem to wake up damp and sweaty and feeling uncomfortable and wondering if it's a side effect from the Sertraline. Lost a small amount of weight too, but dunno if this is because of the night sweats. Been taking it roughly a month and a half I guess.

Hi LS,

I don't have personal experience with this, but I did see weight loss as a possible side-effect of Sertraline on a med/drug website.

The night sweats I imagine could be part of that, or hormonal in nature.  If it is an s/e, it is probably temporary.:)

I am sure someone with more info will be on to help shortly.

Good luck and post anytime:)

Thank you Scaredy Cat!

I'm trying to work it out as I'm very paranoid atm of other health concerns. My doctors aren't being very helpful and I can't go back and see them at present.

I had a baby 14 and a half weeks ago and a depo shot so I don't know if it could be hormonal related but its very frustrating not knowing and I'm a little worried about anything serious, though I know in most cases it isn't.

Thanks and will update you should I learn anything new or finally manage to speak to a doctor.

Oh, I remember having the night sweats Big Time after I had both of my babies! I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.:)

Do check in with your doctor, but rest assured that your body is just trying to deal with a lot right now...fluid loss, lactation/or cessation thereof, starting a new med/birth control...

I would be suprised if you weren't experiencing any symptoms!

Congratulations!  Try not to worry, and keep posting!
