Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Night sweats are an adverse effect of smoking marijuana. Also if you are taking escitalopram for depression you might not be getting adequate response to the medication due to smoking this substance. I recommend that for your as well as your baby's health you stop smoking marijuana. I also think you might need a psychiatrist to consult with for adjusting the dose of your medication.

I hope this helps. Take care! Have a lovely day!
