In reply to extreme sweating when on SSRI's, posted by Steve2 on July 30, 2000, at 16:45:04
I've always suffered from hyperhydrosis, and have tried a few different things to help combat it, but decided aginast surgery!!
Now, I'm on Effecor xr, imagine what I am like!! As a young lady, to be socked through by the timre I arrive to work is a nightmare... The Effexor has particularly caused my head (under my hair, very strange sensation whe it runs down through it) and neck to sweat intensly. I ahve rivers running down me when travelling to work espcecially - I have learnt to only wear clothing that doesn't show sweat (black in other words!!). The extra sweat is causing me problems now though.
Also, I soak through the sheets at night - I live int he UK where it isn't exactly warm most of the time, so others aren't sweating like me!! But, it's price to pay, and the effexor seems to be working, so I just ahve to weigh it up whether it's worth putting up with!!!
