Can Sertraline make me sweat more and feel stronger?

Question

Hello, I'm starting my second week of taking a new drug sertraline in cross-referral with citalopram Hello, i started 3-4 days after starting the medication for heavier sweating and strong smell. Normally I don't feel when my sweat is a bit stronger, so it's a big difference from when I started the medication. And if I count my intake of medication tonight, I have 4 doses left to finish my second week that I started the Sertraline. as a symptom: mini nausea 2/10 the first days but hop essential oil and I could. And pt 4-5 days but there I have no more nausea at all and therefore no need for essential oil. but big intense headache, but starts to decrease in intensity already. otherwise sweating . i sleep a lot but when I'm awake I already see an improvement on the energy side, that my energy is higher. this time it's pretty relaxed in my life. so I don't sweat continuously, I just do it periodically, sometimes I don't do anything and it goes away, otherwise when I wake up from a nap especially. Otherwise, I'm always hungry as a retard.

Hello ma'am, when did you first notice this? Is it all day long or at particular times? Do you have other symptoms such as nausea, headaches, dizziness or other? Thanks for the feedback, please forgive the late reply! Indeed, an increase in sweating is reported with this class of medication. This may decrease over time in some people, after 10 to 14 days, but longer delays are also possible! If this is not the case, I invite you to discuss it with your pharmacist who can consider adjusting the dose, keep your doctor informed of the steps he/she is taking, and ensure a close follow-up with you.
