I also was on Paxil and switched to Effexor but because of a 20 lb weight gain and lethargy. I am now in the process of weaning off of Effexor and am having many problems, i.e. nervousness, double vision, trouble sleeping, stomach pains, headaches, etc. and I'm not completely off yet. As for the sweats, my doctor had me on 300 mg of Effexor XR and the sweats were horrible. He finally put me down to 187.5, and the sweats got a little better, but I would still wake up in the middle of the night soaken, just not every night like when on 300 mg. You might wanna ask if a decrease in doseage is possible and that might help with the sweats, but if you didn't have any problems with weaning off of Paxil I would stick with that because I'm having nothing but problems and I'm still on 75 mg.
