Hi Glyn and :welcome:
These are all pretty common side effects when starting anti-depressants but they should have calmed down after 7 weeks. Have you been back to your GP? It should be time for a review and it may be that these meds just aren't for you. There are other options.
Take care

Hi Glyn,
I've just come off escitalopram -- similar drug but with slightly different properties. I used to get pretty bad hand sweats for a while after starting but it does eventually settle down!
