Experiencing Frequent Night Sweats After Taking Medicines
hello... I have been diagnosed with depressive disorder, insomnia, severe anxiety, and borderline hypertension. My prescribed meds are clonazepam =, 2mg daily, trazadone, 200 mgs at night, and melatonin (supplement) at night. Since increasing recently from 100 to 200 mgs of trazadone my night sweats seemingly have become more frequent. Not excessive, but enough for my nightclothes to be damp when I awaken in the middle of the night. Any thoughts?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
That may be due to anxiety symptoms either due to depression or drug. At high dose, many patients with trazodone feel anxiety symptoms. You can decrease the dose of trazodone to 150mg and that increase the dose of clonazepam. Better to discuss this with your psychiatrist. You can also try JPMR
Thanks
