Ok. So,

I'm on 40mg of Fluoxetine recently (3 months or so) changed to the Prozac from the evil Effexor

Anyway.. on Effexor I would get night sweats however lately, whilst on the fluoxetine I've had heightened anxiety during the day, awful nightmares and night sweats so bad I wake up saturated and the bed soaking wet.. I'll often have to have a shower or change my clothes

This is happening nearly every night

I'm not hot it's quite cool here it's a cold sweat I'm experiencing

Anyone else experience the same ?

    Hi  Kayteenoelle, After taking this drug for 30 yrs I can confirm that this goes drug,

    I am sure that it has jiggered my body thermometer, I sweat even in the winter and dump my pillows every nine months. I am rarely comfortable. Sorry to be so negative, best wishes.
