I've been having night sweats. i'm on zoloft (sertraline) for anxiety, i drink occasionally and i don't work out. i keep it cool in my room. what's the cause?

Zoloft (sertraline): Depends on dosage of zoloft (sertraline) & if recent changes in dose were made. Also, alcohol can intensify adverse effects of zoloft (sertraline), such as sweating & activation symptoms.

Many possiblities: As my colleague dr. Ali said, zoloft (sertraline) is known to cause increased sweating & alcohol might also contribute.There are many other possible causes of night sweats, from hyperthyroidism to food allergies to infections (but acute & chronic)to certain cancers (probably not a great thing to tell someone prone to anxiety) but often we can't find the cause.Please discuss with the doc who prescribed zoloft (sertraline).
