Can g6pd deficiency or trazodone cause night sweats and sleeping problem?
human
Hi, I'm g6pd deficient and am currently on antidepressant Wellbutrin and trazadone to help me sleep. It's been 2 weeks now and I'm still getting cold sweats at night and finding it hard to sleep. I believe it's the trazadone and will discuss it with my doctor. I was just wondering if this could be due to my g6pd or that the medication simply does not suit me.

Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Your G6PD may not be responsible for the night sweats and insomnia. Trazodone can cause night sweats but they improve the sleep profile. If you are not benefiting from them then you may switch your antidepressants to  mirtazapine or paroxetine which are antidepressants as well as help in sleep. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
