Perimenopause night sweats...help!

6 replies

CakeInMyFace · 18/02/2019 18:46

Ok. So I'm not even 42 yet and have been suffering, badly for over a year. For at least 7 days before my period I have terrible insomnia coupled with waking covered in sweat and shivering. Many, many times a night. It's getting me down. I've been given Zoloft (Sertraline) to try, am on week 3 of the tablets and they are doing nothing as the last 2 nights are as bad as ever.

My mum went through it young, am so confused and no clue what to do. All I know is I am seriously panicking I'll be suffering for years, and so far none of my friends are going through it yet. Any miracle cures? I exercise, Im fit, healthy BMI and I eat so healthy, I can't do much more on that front! Help!

Come and join us on the 'dying from perimenopause' thread!

What have you tried? Different supplements work for different people. Have you thought about HRT?

Thank you @picklemepopcorn where would I find the thread? Is it in chat? I haven't tried hardly anything, onky the well woman perimenopause vits but they don't seem to be helping! My doctor has been useless so would be open to trying anything!!

My GP wanted me to try the sertraline anti depressants first before pursuing HRT...

I'm pretty sure that antidepressants for peri is against NICE guidelines.

Here we go.

No advice but sympathy from me - I am 42 and haven't had a period for four years now; the night sweats are awful, my pyjamas are wringing wet at times. I have been known to get changed entirely in the middle of the night.

I have woken up a few times with this. My worst is my periods. This one has been going on for two months now. And my husband asked me why I was so tired all the time. Ugh. Two months !!!!
