Remember how I wrote about my horrible night sweats? I had many of you write to me to tell me that you, too, have them... and there was a common thread...
Nope, not our age. But the happy pill you and I are taking... Zoloft.
In the past, my family physician always thought Zoloft could no way be causing my night sweats because I am on such a low dose. (Yes, I am.) But this time, I flat out told her to write me a Rx for something else that would make me happy (and most importantly, keep me happy).
It worked.
I still am happy. I still have very mild night sweats. But, I am not soaked, and it doesn't happen every night anymore.
If you happen to be one of those that emailed or DM'd me on Facebook, and you, too, are on Zoloft, or any seratonin-uptake drug, try switching to see what happens. My physician said that there isn't one that definitely doesn't cause them, and it is all done patient-by-patient, drug-by-drug. Good luck!
good for you for standing your ground with your doc..there are lots of choices with the serotonin meds. I used to sell Zoloft!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found something to make the night sweats better....and something to still help you stay happy!
ReplyDeleteI'm not on Zoloft, but I get them too since having my last baby. I figure perhaps this is just another way she has jacked up my formerly well functioning body?
