Was becoming unable to function on the first and sometimes second day of each period. Was barely responding to pain killers, which caused lots of collateral damage to the lining of my stomach. Interesting also about depressed patients having higher nocturnal temps. I would have thought that now that I've been on SSRIs for several years and have really seen an improvement vis. If you have any other ideas or if I can give you more information, please write.
Women are much more likely to be aware of the treatment-induced sleep disturbance than are men.
SSRI are also mild to moderate REM sleep suppressors. The upshot is that patients wake up more during the night and have much lighter sleep. Sweating prior to taking an SSRI may have gone unnoticed because of consolidated sleep. This may not be the whole story, but these are effects that might contribute. The premenstrual exacerbation, however, hasn't been reported in our female patient, but wet didn't query them specifically about the timing.
