Hello sue3.

I take 75 mg a day split into two 37.5 doses, one tablet in the morning and one at bedtime. I have never really suffered from night sweats but when I forgot my bedtime tablet recently I was noticeably hotter during the night so maybe they help more than I realised.

It may be worth persevering for a while longer or asking your GP to increase the dose.

I hope things begin to improve for you soon.

Take care.
