Sertraline for hot flushes

Hi has anyone been put on sertraline for hot flushes. I’ve been on it about a month and I’m not sleeping at all like an hour or two a night. It’s been awful. I’m also on zoladex and anastrozole. 

my anxiety has gotten better though but still having hot flushes and night sweats although not as bad. The lack of sleep, dry mouth, upset tummy and headaches don’t seem to be worth it and I don’t know what to do.

  • Hello, I take venlafaxine for the hot flushes. I was offered clonodine but went with venlafaxin to help with my mood. Generally it is working very well and I don't feel as anxious/ moody. My daughter has just changed from sertraline to venlafaxine but this is for depression. However she was having sleepless nights, headaches etc so ask about venlafaxin or clonodine. Best wishes, Jane.

  • Maybe I’ll ask to switch. I’ll call them next week. The sertraline is defo the culprit for the sleeplessness and headaches and mouth so maybe I need to stop it. X
