I had night sweats for the first 3 weeks. Unfortunately, if Effexor works for you, it will take MONTHS to feel its real effects. Also, I cannot stress enough that the meds. must exist in combination with life changes, therepy, a new attitude etc. Your deep, underlying issues which are often the case with depression/anxiety will not be fixed by the meds.
However, stick it out - and remember, the night sweats are a side-effect of the meds; you are NOT going crazy, and are not losing it.
I think when people decide to go on these, often times they are at "rock bottom" so the combination of that mental state and the side-effects makes you feel like you are losing it.

I promise, it does get better, and they do go away.
