Hi my names mark ive suffered with panic attacks for about 16 years now on and off. I started to take citalopram 20mg but over the years i thought to myself i need to stop taking tablets. Last year i decided to try CBT is was really good it help me think about things differently :). Anyway feeling better and using the tools from cbt i thought i would stop the pills. 8 Months after i feel like hell again. It started with me waking up in a puddle of sweat i thought nothing of it a first, since we have been having warm weather. Two weeks now im being woken up at 1am ,2am 3am with these sweat attacks i cannot keep cool at all. Ive started back on the citalopram 20mg only been on them 2 days but DAM my head hurts and very dizzy , i know its a normal thing. Do you guys think its the panics that are making me sweat and over heat or shall i have it checked out.

One hundred percent the Citalopram causing the night sweats.
No need to worry at all. Very very common

It could be anxiety. I'm on cit now and I do have night sweats but equally I have panic attacks in my sleep and my therapist said that's very common with anxiety. Horrid though! X

I got sweats from increasing the dose. Nightmares and many other effects.
