ALSO- insane sweating at night, Im talking soaked.

again, this could just be me and not the pills. But I've never sweated so much at night before.

my GP told me that it takes about two weeks for the medication to take effect and that anything i experienced before then was coincidental; a placebo effect, if you will, except for negative side effects.

HOWEVER when i was taking prozac two days into it i could feel i was getting nauseous when i ate particularly acidic/ spicy food, then when the meds kicked in it developed into full on heartburn whenever I ate anything.

Sounds like your doc wasn't very clear. The medication's beneficial effects take 2-4 weeks to start. Side effects don't necessarily follow that rule and can start right away.

Bedhead sweating is a relatively common side effect, so it could be related.
