Will antidepressants really solve my day and night sweats?

Initial phone appointment earlier to discuss Meno symptoms. My mood is pretty stable but physically I'm wrecked. Night/day sweats, disrupted sleep, very painful joints, exhausted all the time.
I'm obese and both maternal grand parents died of heart attacks so I've been told I may not be a suitable candidate for HRT which is what I was asking for. I was told antidepressants might help my sweats and I'm seeing the GP face to face tomorrow for blood pressure and weight checks.

Has anyone had a good outcome re using antidepressants to help with the sweating? Im a bit worried re taking antidepressants so may decline them if that's all ok deemed suitable for but I am also a sweaty tired mess. Any good news stories out there?

I just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who's given a view here. Long story short I have today picked up Sandrena gel and Utrogestan tablets. The nurse said she had spoken to a couple of the female GPs to make the decision as the male GPs "don't really know much"

Im hoping it helps but it did take quoting NICE to get this far.
