ssris can cause flushing and the sweats, not the same as hormonally induced hot flashes. You're a bit young for hot flashes, and anti-depressants don't treat hot flashes. Some docs prescribe them for some of the mental stuff that accompanies hormonal imbalances, though personally I think that's a bad way to go about it -- better to attack the problem than cover it up with a med that alters the brain, but that's me.
I am a 4'10" 27 year old female weighing 102 lbs. I am prescribed celexa 40 mg and adderall 30 mg BID (2x a day) by the same doctor. Lately I can't sleep at night my blood pressure is high 130/90. My heart rate seems really fast. I've been twitching a lot, have hot and cold flashes, abdominal cramping, a lump on the back of my neck (right side), body is sore, frequent urge to urinate but hardly pee and my skin is warm to the touch. What's wrong with me?

they called it a hysterectomy. I got through the hot flashes the first three years. the fourth I developed tissue and bone loss. fith and sixth year I begin having mental issues. Sleep disturbances and depression, anxiety attacks, memory loss and more. I took Premerin for the first year, Ive since not taken anything at all. I feel mentally horriable as if something in my brain is chemicly wrong. Dr, wants me on celexa. Three days on it and my heart is papatating. I feel sick on it.
I was doing great on this plan until January the first when medicaid in my state changed their formulary and will no longer pay for either of these drugs. Now I am on 60mgs of Celexa a day and my anxiety is through the roof. I cannot even function. Hot flashes, can't breathe, wild thoughts, the whole shebang. Lately I have been taking a .5 mg tab of Ativan every morning and this is enough to help me get things under control and function for the day.
I saw a different doc this time because mine wasn't available. He said wellbutrin is usually for depression and since I came for anxiety that I should try something more geared to that. I took wellbutrin this morning and it relaxed me for a little while. I have been getting hot flashes all day and don't have much of an appetite, but I don't get sleepy. I hate the side effects. I don't feel like doing anything.
Pregnancy night sweats are similar to hot flashes, although they take place during the night as a woman sleeps as opposed to hot flashes that occur during the day. Night sweats during pregnancy, which is also known as "nocturnal hyperhydrosis" during pregnancy occur because the body´s temperature gauge begins to malfunction as a result of hormonal imbalance that occurs during pregnancy.
She had to have a totally historictimy(sp) at 24-26 because she had cancer, and that through her in to early menopause and so she dealt with the hot flashes for years (she is 51 now) and she finally went to the doctor and it was her body being so out of wack so the doctor put her on some hormones to help balance her out. You might also go to your local herbs store to see if they have anything that might help you out natural but always consult with your doctor.
I had a pacemaker put in about 2 months ago after ungoing 2 ablation procedures for WPW. I have been experience hot flashes during the night and also a few during the day ever since. I am wondering if this could possibly be a side effect of the pacemaker or would it be happening anyway due to my age (52) and menopause.
A lot of the medications when increased make me feel horrible, like I was going crazy sometimes. I started on Celexa and it seemed to work the best for me and I went back and forth on 20 and 40mg for several years, along with the Zanax. Finally my doctor decided I needed to be at 40mg Celexa and wanted me off Xanax and on Klonopin. When going through this change I wanted to admit myself to the hospital...I don't know what the exact cause was.

SOME thing is going on....not as severe as before surgery, but now newthings presenting. *SIGH!*.....started when I was 40 years old...
The night sweats stopped almost immediately, and the hot flashes became fewer and less severe. Sometimes I feel a little flushed, like one is coming on, but then it just seems to fizzle. The pain in my legs and breasts has also subsided, and I’m feeling great. The best part is that I’m actually able to get a good night’s sleep again!
You asked about hot flashes and B6 toxicity. All I can tell you is I started having hot flashes and B6 symptoms the very same month I went into menopause. It was like my body chemistry changed and I could no longer metabolize the B6. My hot flashes have subsided now with the help of taking herbs prescribed by a dr of oriental medicine and accupuncture. Like you I tried conventional methods to reduce my hot flashed but nothing helped until I found a licensed dr of oriental medicine.
