What Causes Hot Flashes, Weakness And Sweating At Night While On SSRIs?

I am a 50 year old male, 220 lbs. 6 7 tall. I have been having hot flashes but body temp is low. I feel weak when it happens. I have been sweating at night at times, too. I have been on an SSRI for 14 years now for anxiety. I am generally healthy and try to eat right. Thoughts?
