Night sweats Citalopram quetiopine and B/P meds

Hi My night sweats seem to have returned as i got off loxamine and they stopped (3/ 12)
Anyone else get them/ have any solutions... I wake up quite restless and tired after a night of "saving the world and rescuing others/ running away from monsters" Its only been 3 nights so far but I had massive issues last year for months on end which led me to be burned out big time, due to sleep deprivation.
The sucky thing is that if I drik alcohol i have no issues. Im trying not to drink.

Hi no but when I was on citalopram I would get what I called "my running legs" when I went to bed..my legs felt like they were alive and I needed to run or something and it would keep me awake...just weird really as I would be soooooo tired at about 12pm and need a sleep and then couldnt sleep at bed time grrrrrrr

Oh man, I get really bad night sweats. Waking up in the middle of the night and shiver from the the sweat becasue it's turned cold.

It's HORRIBLE

I had really bad night sweats when I upped by Citalopram to 40mg per day. I found using really light blankets and wearing little, light pyjamas to bed helped. Now they have basically stopped but I still get really hot when I sleep and normally sleep with my feet out of the duvet so I don't get too hot.
I also wake up really tired, especially as the week goes on. I'm thinking of stopping the drugs to see if they give me more energy.

Hmmm.

Night sweats are a bugger, I gotta say – I have assorted pillows to keep me in more or less in one possie all night and aye, I am tired of airing damp pillows.

Mind you it could be worsera I guess but the really good news about the ‘list of adverse reactions’ is, they ain’t Compulsory.

For moi – better on them than not, based on long, painful experience but I dare say the day shall again come when that little Imp on my shoulder will whisper to me that I don’t need them any more and that the Imp will see me right.

That Imp by the way, is a Lying Bastard!
Sure, Imps might Thrive, but Paddys don’t. Not without a wee bitta chemical assistance anyhow. Which I can live with, I have worse things wrong than a Peck of Pickled Mental Illness.

Paddy.
