Has anyone found sertraline makes their bushing / flushing worse?

Day 6 on 25mg and I’m really suffering with increased blushing / flushing. I already suffer with bad social blushing and flushing in general. Now it’s worse how can this be possible 😓😓. Has any one experienced this please ? Has it lasted? I was hoping it would help not make it worse 😔.

Thankyou.

Constant blushes, hot flushes and head sweating so bad a member of the public I was dealing with once followed a bead of sweat as it rolled from my forehead, down my cheek and dripped off my chin, with her eyes. Mortifying.
I lasted two weeks.
Citalopram was my best ever AD, until Nice guidelines lowered the maximum dosage allowed. Currently on Lofepramine, and have been for years. It works well for me.
