What Causes Increased Blood Pressure Levels And Hot Flashes While On Cevimeline?

I have been taking cevimeline now everyday for about 4 years twice a day at 30mg each time. I have now been experiencing ever worse hot flashes and sweats and noticeably increased blood pressure readings. Could this prolonged use of this medicine be the cause...and if so what should I do? I have been prescribed this medicine for my Sjogrens Disorder. I have also been taking a daily dose of Duloxetine HCL DR at 60mg each time for the past year as well.
