Can prolonged zoloft use cause extreme sweating

It sure looks like it might. When I did a search on these key words:

+zoloft +''profuse sweating''

Over a thousand sites came up.

I use St. John is wort. It sure does work for me. Other options inlcude 5-HTP or tryptophan.

Good luck and be well.

zoloft shoud not be the source of the sweating..the social anxiety can be..sweating while you nap could possibly be a respiratory problem.

soaking in a tub on warm water with a 1/2 gallon vinegar is an old remedy.just dont do it right before a date!
