> I have been having extremely violent and vivid dreams on Effexor, along with the sweats. The dreams are so complex, and I could have 5 or more a night. I also wake up exhausted!

I had that same problem on Effexor, and it got worse as my dosage increased. My last week on it, I was as if in a dream state, not being able to distinguish clearly between dream life and real life, and those dreams were VERY vivid. I have only had a few strange dreams while on the Lexapro -- most were while I was also tapering off the Effexor.

As for sweating at night, I live in Miami, so it's hard for me to tell why I'm hot at night. Could be Lexapro, could be 60-degree nights. I usually blame it on the weather, but I have to run the air conditioning all the time. I wonder if it's really the Lexapro?
