Just thought I would throw this out there. One of the most common dead-give-away signs of hidden Lyme disease is night sweats. Sometimes it is dormant, minimal, or a none-issue, until it is provoked some a certain food, medicine, or herb. Obviously most people would say night sweats are caused as a side effect of meds. So why not day sweats too? How come it only happens at night? And why are people so immediatly willing to accept it as a mere side effect rather than a potential clue?
Not that you have Lyme disease, but just so others who read this will know one of common symptoms to look for. I only mention this because an estimated 30% of psychiatric patients have undiagnosed unsuspected Lyme disease, which means one of every 3 of us here. Night sweats just happens to be a common symptom. Blaming it on a med because it didn't happen before the med (or did happen but don't remember, or did happen but not bad enough to wake or soak sheets) is the obvious response.
