Sweating/night sweats - put on sertraline

[Holliee]

I've been dealing with excessive sweating (especially on my feet) and night sweats for about 4 months. Before this I was on antibiotics and they seem to have set all of this off but the doctors say it's all unrelated)

Went back to the doctors on Wednesday and she's basically convinced it's my anxiety levels, which I can say are at an all time low for me and I've never experienced this before, and said I should go on antidepressants.

I reluctantly agree to prove a point almost, but now I'm seeing that sertraline causes an increase in sweating? I'm at the point where it's driving me mad and I wanted answers, not something to make it worse!

Does this side effect happen regularly? And has it ever actually cured anyone's sweats?

Thanksi

Don't take antidepressants, you'll get hocked on them

Yes I sweat especially my head it dripping wet just like u just come out the shower

[Holliee in reply to markanthony69]

Is this on the sertraline? Because I have only been on it for two days and I've had the sweats for months. Dr is trying to convince my that it anxiety and the meds will help but I heard they cause it too?

No I'm on venlalic and I sweat it's ur anxiety

[Holliee in reply to markanthony69]

Thanks

Did u Google wat I said hollies??

I recently started taking vitamin B and every few days I take magnesium. I also started working out and I really feel better. I have emergency Xanax and I haven't had to take any is weeks. I would definitely recommend trying it Hollie.

[Holliee in reply to Devinlane]

Thank you for replying! Can I ask what doses of Vitamin B you take? And it's it B12 or just B? And how much magnesium?

Not very clued up on all of this and wouldn't want to over do it!

[Devinlane in reply to Holliee]

I take Natural B High Potency B-Complex....I read this right off the bottle. It shows Natural B very big. The brand is Spring Valley.

[Devinlane in reply to Devinlane]

B1,2,3,6, and B12 are all in this vitamin

I rarely take the magnesium because if I take it daily my stomach gets upset.
