Hi All
Just when i thought i was getting on top of my HA, I get woken up last night to my first episode of a drenching night sweat! Yay for me!
It was primarily my lower half, very wet lower back area and below (sorry if tmi)
Anyway, I have read in the past that drenching night sweats is a tell tale sign of the Big C, So as you can imagine when i got this last night all i can think about now is the big "C"
I've recently had a full blood work up in March this year which all came back 100% clear, So i am trying to put my mind to that to ease the alarms in my head!
Anyway, one thing that HAS changed is that i started a medication yesterday (haven't been on anything for about 9 months) called ENDEP (Amitriptyline) in which i started last night, just before bed at around 9.30 i took 10mg, I get woken up at midnight to the drenching sweats
A quick google on this med shows some mixed opinions, some of which suggest this medication can cause night sweats, but oddly then i read some use it to treat night sweats! so i am confused!
Anyone care to share if they are on this, or been on it and got night sweats at the start?
