Sertraline (Zoloft) excess sewating

[JE55LEW]

Anyone else experience excess sewating on sertraline been on it 10days now 8days at 50mg an 2 days at 100mg I. Noticed I'm really sweaty not sleeping good yet just hope that will come in time really as I'm having a sleeping aid zopiclone which I really don't want to have but had to use it, just wanting to know people's experiences off 100mg and if these will pass and I can get back to normal

This might not be your med, but it does show one thing -- you're metabolizing it well.  Any reason you went up in dose when you were suffering side effects?  Might have been better to go slowly to see if you got used to it.  I got the sweats with Lexapro and its progenitor Celexa, and they never have gone away completely.  It's a balance between the benefits vs. the downsides.  What I do is take a shower before going to bed and in the summer keep the AC one degree cooler than I normally would.

Hello,

Sweating is a common side effects of sertraline. It should not create any problem. However, if you sweat excessively, please contact your Doctor immediately.

Take care of your health!

Do the brands of these medicines make a difference?

This is a common side effect of many antidepressants for some people.  Whether it will pass is an individual thing.
