Anyone have bad nightsweats?

Fed up with them now. I had a baby 21 weeks ago so thought it can't be post partum hormonal thing now can it ?
I take antidepressants, I think they started when I went up to 100mg on sertraline, so I was switched to 20mg fluoxetine but I'm still getting them, albeit not as bad. But the thing is, I was on sertraline years ago and again was switched to fluoxetine because of the night sweats I was getting, and they stopped straight away ! But this time they've carried on?!?!

I've noticed they've got worse the run up to my period, I also get awfully stiff fingers in the morning (this is another issue) so now I'm worrying I'm perimenopausal at 33.

Can anyone relate ??

I'm speaking to the gp Monday, I will have a list at this rate !! My sore fingers and wrists, nightsweats, and now fresh blood in bowel movements !! Which I'm thinking is internal piles ! Trying not to convince myself it's something sinister

Yes I have horrible nightsweats and also on antidepressants - 20mg Citalopram...I think it might be linked.

My hormones were really screwed by pregnancy and once my first DC was born j had almost a year of this sort of thing, including stiffness in my fingers and toes, especially on waking up or if I sat still for a while. I was tested for everything apparently, even saw a rheumatologist and GI specialist (I also had gastritis) and in the end the only thing I could work out was that I had somehow become gluten intolerant and stopping it helped all the stiffness completely stop.

I started having horrendous night sweats after my 3rd child was born. He's 8 now. I have never taken anti depressants but am still getting them. I seem to get them every night for a few weeks then none for ages. I put it down to hormones and now peri menopause
