In reply to extreme sweating when on SSRI's, posted by Steve2 on July 30, 2000, at 16:45:04
which anti-hypertensives ?
body metabolism is speeded up by adrenaline. seratonin can cause an increase in adrenaline release. Increased metabolic rate causes increased temps.
I had the same with zoloft.
Inderal & now pindolol have gotten rid of the increased sweating & even better the heat intolerance. I could deal with the dripping but the heat intol was miserable.
The effective dose has been 30mg /day for pindolol. took about 30 days to fully work. I sweat even less than some "normal" folks. on occasion tho, still get a wierdy or 2.
Yesterday it was 90degF & was sitting out. sneezed a couple of times & eyes watered & nose dripped for about 2 min. then my Left arm pit dripped for about 15 min. no sweat elsewhere.
some of these effects are whaco !
