Profuse Sweating And Chills

Updated

I started 5-10mg brintellix 2.5 months ago switched from lexapro. After 6 weeks dr switched to 20 mg. i have been on 20mg for 5weeks. I wake up drenched in sweat. Flu like symptoms for week now. Between the night sweats, day sweats, flushing, flu like symptoms I cant take this. I called the dr. Ask him to wean me off. I am scared. Trintelllix is causing mood swings as well. All this time, I thought I was sick, but its the trintellix. Has anyone else experienced night sweats, horrible profuse sweating during the day, chills, flushing from trintellix?

Those can be side effects of this medication, as listed by the FDA, along with blurred vision, unusual dreams, and loss of libido.

However, such side effects are usually transient and tend to go away once your body gets used to the medication, which can take 4 to 5 weeks of being on one steady dose.

What other medication has your doctor recommended?

I've been taking 10 mg trintellix since July and it works great but I sweat when I'm sleeping and on and off all day long plus I get flushing sometimes.
