Hi Folks
I am now 3 years of using setraline, my dosage is 100mg, everymorning nw on i am waking up with a soak of water, its feels for me that uncomfortable and so embarrassing having my bed wet😢 i am planning to cut a my 100mg to 0.75mg or maybe 0.5, does any of you has similar syndroms where you actually need to change your pj’s everyday😞 xxx please advice if possiblexx
Yep!! I do.
I’m on the same dose as you but only about 4 months in this time (I was on them a few years ago but can’t remember If I had any side effects)
Lately I’ve been waking up literally dripping with sweat. At first I thought it was my new 15tog quilt (why I brought this is beyond me.. it’s like a sauna under there) BUT I’ve took to sleeping in my underwear with just a sheet instead of my quilt and it’s still happening. Only started when my dose was increased from 50mg to 100mg.
I have a friend who had the same symptoms also on the same dose.
Try not to feel embarrassed by it. I can totally understand why you do but it’s something that’s not in our control. If YOU feel (beside that particular side effect) that the dose is right for you and helping you to cope daily then I wouldn’t advise u reduce your dose if it could compromise your mental well-being.
Try maybe getting a fan near to your bed to help keep you cool or wear lighter/cooling nightwear if you feel uncomfortable just sleeping in underwear.
Of course I don’t know your personal circumstances but if you have a partner then maybe you could discuss changing to lighter bedding and explain how your struggling to cope with the night sweats.
If not and you live alone.. strip and let your body breath! 💪🏽😁 Lol
Failing this speak to your GP ...maybe it’s not the right medicine for you anymore OR perhaps it could be a cause of something else very simple that you hadn’t considered.
I don’t know a solution but I do understand and can relate to your suffering.
Good luck and I hope you find a solution that suits you.

Hi there yes i try not to full cover myself with a duvet plus i am sleeping with a shorts
But guess what i reduced last night to 0.75mg and had no sweats this morning, i took just now same dose will see whats will happened, my mood and health being under control at the min didnt even bother get angry or stressed today, i am also suffering with boardeline lots of sh## tho haha
But thank you for your respond.🙋🏼♀️🙂xx
I’m on the same dose and have no problems. Maybe you should try a lighter blanket or just a sheet.
That doesnt helps Deb cause i am sleeping with my shirt and shorts only xx
I am on 150 mgs of sertraline and never had this problem. I was wondering how old you are and whether this could be the start of the menopause? x
I will surprice you 32 lolx 😃 defo i aint got menopause 😃
Bemyself, I was never on Setraline and yet during my worst times with anxiety
I would break into a sweat on and off (mostly on) Severe anxiety plays with
our internal thermostat causing some to sweat and others to get the chills.
Always be careful and stay safe when reducing dosage on any medication.
It may help reduce the sweating incidences but cause you side effects. Your
doctor really should be advised as to what you are doing so you don't get into
trouble. Please keep us updated.
