> The night sweats may be an effect of trazodone due to its being metabolized into mCPP. However, it also happens quite frequently with SRIs like Effexor and Paxil in the absence of trazodone, and usually pesists throughout treatment. Still, it might make sense to attempt to discontinue the trazodone first in order to evaluate its role in producing hyperhidrosis. This way, you won't have to exclude possibly effective antidepressants from consideration.

Thanks, Scott! I have cut way down on the Traz (was on a very low dose to begin with) and started using a lighter blanket. That seems to have helped for the moment. :)
