To be honest it's best to go to back to your doctor, who can make an informed decision on what to do.
Also wikipedia isn't necessarily the most reliable source. We're always discouraged from using it at school because anyone can write an article on it. Does it have a list of sources? Has anywhere else said the same?
The sweat doesn't seem to correlate with the nightmares.
I've stopped taking it more than once, for 4/5 days each time, and I'm certain that's what it is. I've discussed this with my psych and he seems to agree; But as I actually
prefer having no libido, I don't mind.
I'm a Wikipedia editor and I spend a lot of time editing and improving articles. If used correctly, Wikipedia is the
most reliable source; Schools just don't have the resources to teach students how to use it correctly. While it's true that some unscrupulous individuals find it funny to vandalise pages, most changes are instantly unrecognisable. There are guidelines in place for what constitutes a reliable source; For example, blogs are not considered reliable sources, nor is original research.
