Zoloft 50mg to Lexapro 10mg, vivid dreams even more vivid, nightmares worsening

Hi everyone. I switched from Zoloft 50mg to Lexapro 10mg for OCD and anxiety about two weeks ago. On zoloft, I sweated badly in my sleep and had vivid dreams, often waking up at 2:30-3am. My night sweats continue and the dreams are progressively getting more vivid, and last night I had a dream I was raped. This dream was so vivid, and I woke up in a freezing sweat. Has this happened to anyone else, SSRI nightmares and does it worsen upon switching. if its of any importance, I was not weened off my Zoloft even a little. Thank you, guys.
