> > dunno if this is the right forum for this but lately i've been sweating in my sleep. i thought this was because i fell asleep fully dressed a few times but last night i wore PJs and it still happened. my room isn't over-heated--in fact, i keep it kind of chilly. i have really deep dreams and maybe that's it but i don't know.... i recently screwed up my medication by mistake, taking 80 of prozac instead of 40 and am now coming back down... has anyone experienced this kind of thing for whatever reasons? what was the cause of it?

>Excess sweating can be a side effect of antidepressants. How long did you take the douple doses of Prozac & how many double doses did you take? The double doses will be pretty harmeless, but, it can take up to a month for the drug levels in your blood to return back to the old level as Prozac has an incredbily long half-life of 7-14 days & in some people up to 30 days.
