Personally i wouldnt recommend Zoloft, i am 26 yrs old and have been taking it for years.  It has a tendancy to CAUSE night sweats though.  If you have no aversions to it Soy helps with Hot flashes and such quite a bit.  Check out a natural health store for soy products.

I believe you can actually start menopause as early as your late twenties, so at 43 its a definitely possibility.  Did you breastfeed?  That will delay your period.  But with the hot flashes it sounds like menopause.  Go to Amazon.com and look up books on the subject, check the reviews and read up on it.  Then talk to you GYN. My doctor has a link with some info see below.

It could be a combination of both depending on what meds you are taking, but I am 41 and I am experiencing the same things.  The night sweats are horrible (at least we don't have the hot flashes during the day yet).

ME TOO!!!! I have to wear lighter clothing, keep my hair up, I use a fan even in the bathroom, I cant even take to hot of a shower! I notice my hot flashes are worse at night, so I use light weight cover and all cotton for my pillow cases and sheets, absorbs sweat and keeps me feeling cooler. I also notice and dont know if others have this but if my beverage or food is to hot I swear I have a hot flash even worse. I am not on hormones really perfer not to be, I have been taking a real good vitamin called alive and have seen some improvement, I am now looking into a homopathic  way, have not tried any yet, hope some of the things I do help u also to cope, oh a cool bath feels great!

You might have an overactive sweat gland. A doctor can prescribe a special deodorant for you to help with this.

i think u must try for "chyanprash" An Indian Ayurvedic product very effective to prevent u from getting cold. And the physical exercise whenever u feel cold. It'll definitely help u as u see when u do some physical work u get sweats.

Soy based products have a safer estrogen kind that may help the transition. Those 'cooling bands' may help around the forehead or neck. Just know it is supposed to be time limited, so slowly get better over time.  If it doesn't seem too, it may be worthwhile to investigate as other conditions may mimic 'hot flushes'. So keeping a journal to see if there is a pattern of time, food related, place related, weather, etc. with frequency so you have something to show your doctor.

You can start at any age. It's called perimenopause. Here r some symptoms to look for:\n\nChanges in pattern of periods (can be shorter or longer, lighter or heavier, more or less time between periods) \n\nHot flashes (sudden rush of heat in upper body) \n\nNight sweats (hot flashes that happen while you sleep), often followed by a chill \n\nTrouble sleeping through the night (with or without night sweats) \nVaginal dryness \n\nMood changes, feeling crabby (probably because of lack of sleep) \n\nTrouble focusing, feeling mixed-up or confused \n\nHair loss or thinning on your head, more hair growth on your face \n\nWhen you visit your doctor, take along a diary about what’s happening with your period. For a few months before your visit, record when your period starts and stops each day, and indicate whether it is light of heavy. Also note any other symptoms you have.\n\nGood luck

Maybe, you can ask your mother, grandmother how early did menopause start for them. I could be possible that you are have pre-menopausal  symptoms.

See a doctor. There are all kinds of treatments for sweating. I have even heard of botox injections at the sweat site. I have the same problem but fortunately, Certain Dry worked for me. If you were like me, it seemed that most deo and anti pers. made the sweating worse. The only way Certain dry worked was if I used it at night and then didn't put anything on in the morning. If I slipped and put regular deo and anti pers. on, it was all over because I would sweat all day long...whether it was hot or not and no way would I wear a sleeveless shirt! I still don't do that.  Good luck!
