Hi all, new here so I hope this hasn't been asked 1 million times.

I was dx'd 4 yrs ago and after a rocky start have been stable & doing very well. Working fulltime, active, normal life, etc.

But about 9 mo. ago I started getting hellacious night sweats. I'd wake up and have to towel off, sleep on a towel, move to the couch, etc. It isn't that I feel hot, like you would if you were working in the sun or something. I just sweat like Niagara Falls for no apparent reason.

At first I thought it was the Remeron I was taking for sleep, b/c it had other unpleasant side fx. But I went off it and the sweats remained.

They don't happen every night, and some nights they're worse than others. I had a hysterectomy several years ago but I still have my ovaries...but I'm only 43!!! How could I be going thru menopause at this age??

What I'm worried about is that this might presage a manic episode--although I haven't felt any other indications of anything but stability.

I am taking Paxil 20 mcg once a day (morning), Lamictal 150 mg twice a day, and Levothroid (for my thyroid, not my BP) 100 mcg a day in the morning.

What do you guys make of this? Should I be worried?

Thanx,
