I have the same problem--I am 32 with profuse night sweating and wind up smelling like something akin to a locker room in the morning. I've never been to a doctor specifically about this because I don't see any additional symptoms that indicate diabetes, etc. My blood sugar is always normal at check-ups, though I am overweight and probably do have sleep apnea (according to my husband!).
I do take Zoloft and have been on it for years--but in this case, you're in for a double whammy because while anxiety can cause night sweats, so can anti-depressants.
In my case, I'm probably up against a little bit of insulin-resistance, antidepressant use, and the sleep apnea. Perhaps the best cure is lots of water before bed--that way, you have to get up four times a night ANYWAY and might break the 'sweat' cycle--though this is hardly appealing! Best of luck from one smelly sleeper to another...
