Night Sweats? GRRRRR!!!

This is weird. I don't know if this is anxiety or what?!
I'm not having any anxiety. I'm a warm blooded person, but never sweat like this usually in bed.

But latley the past few days I've been waking up with my underwear and shirt kind of wet... and my body is kinda of clammy... almost like I broke a fever... but I'm not fevered or running a fever.

I've been taking Lexapro 5mg for about a month... could this be a side effect of the Lexapro? Will this side effect eventually leave? I've been on it for a month.

I've also noticed I've been dreaming ALOT more while on the Lexapro... and the dreams are very REAL... and TIRING!

I sweat more I notice if the dream is more Vivid or Real like.... doesnt have to necessarily be a nightmare or anything... just "REAL" like.

And I wake up feeling unrested kinda of.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Or any thoughts on how to manage or stop the night sweats.

I took a warm bath lastnight instead of a hot shower like I usually do before bed.
I thought that would help... I thought it was b/c I was taking too hot of showers right before
bed... and my body temp would just stay hot... but that's not the case.

Thanks guys!
