What Causes Night Sweats Along With Anxiety And Depression?

I am having several symptoms related to losing my job because I need a hip replacement. I have lost over 37 pounds since October, I have nightly sweating leaving my sheets wet, anxiety and depression like a roller coaster ride. I am taking 60 mg. of Prozac and have been on Prozac since 1995, but never experienced this type of depression. I was recently hospitalized for a week for dehydration, I was vomiting, unable to keep medication or fluid down, I still wake up occasionally with the shakes, seeming unable to regulate my temperature. I will be seeing a doctor soon, but don t know what symptom to mention first.

Hello,

In my opinion, it is important to check for thyroid dysfunction. Also, it could just be part of anxiety and depression. Very important to know whether you have a fever. Having a low dose of benzodiazepine is useful.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
