Those of you who have suffered from nights sweats of Effexor, will it go away eventually? I remember I used to wake up with sheets soaked in sweat and I was freezing from being wet. If it doesn't go away, is there an antidote?

Just thought I would throw this out there. One of the most common dead-give-away signs of hidden Lyme disease is night sweats. Sometimes it is dormant, minimal, or a none-issue, until it is provoked some a certain food, medicine, or herb. Obviously most people would say night sweats are caused as a side effect of meds. So why not day sweats too? How come it only happens at night? And why are people so immediatly willing to accept it as a mere side effect rather than a potential clue?
Not that you have Lyme disease, but just so others who read this will know one of common symptoms to look for. I only mention this because an estimated 30% of psychiatric patients have undiagnosed unsuspected Lyme disease, which means one of every 3 of us here. Night sweats just happens to be a common symptom. Blaming it on a med because it didn't happen before the med (or did happen but don't remember, or did happen but not bad enough to wake or soak sheets) is the obvious response.

Thank you. I got that part. And I also predicted this answer. And there was other stuff I mentioned that needs to be revisited.

sorry blea, but the poster is worried about effexor, so why give them the lyme to worry about as well, the symtoms of lyme,s are the same symtoms an near on all illnesses on the board an off it.

Haven't stopped for me. Been on 225mg for over 4 months, still get them at 200mg now, coming off. Terrible shame. try promethazine (sominex in uk) it helps, other anticholinergic meds can help sweating. Avoid nytol (diphenhydramine/benadryl) it inhibits CYP2D6 raising effexor levels. W
