Prozac and awful awful embarrassing night sweats

Posted by Claire on May 6, 2000, at 15:48:55

I've been taking Prozac again for about 6 months (I've had it before) after getting really depressed after stopping Effexor because it made me fall asleep all the time, and made me hungry all the time (not very helpful if you have and eating disorder). Anyway, I'm usually freezing cold during the day and spend most of my life in a ball next to a radiator. But when I go to bed I sweat all over my body, soaking the bedclothes meaning I wake up in a cold puddle. I'm not overweight and I'm not sweating because I'm hot. My boyfriend says that he would rather I was sweaty than constantly crying. However, I have always been a little obsessive about being clean and not smelling, so I am finding this situation extremely depressing. I tried stopping my tablets last week and ended up constantly in tears, which I prefer to sweating, but it means that I can't see anyone, speak to anyone or do anything productive. Feeling so disgusting and smelly only adds to my depression. I dread going to bed at night and the thought that everyone must know I smell increases suicidal thoughts...oh yes..and it doesn't do much for my sex life either. Can anyone give me any suggestions for what I can so to stop this, and has anyone else had the same problem? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
