The thing is I hate it, it makes me way more anxious.
Was helping my sister take down a wall today with my 65 year old dad and I was literally dripping where as my dad hasn't even broke into a sweat it's really embarrassing.
Thing is the mental health practitioner said it's quite common with anti depressants and if I was to come off them he couldn't help me anymore.
Plus I've already been on 4 different anti depressants and they all caused me to sweat a lot which makes me not want to go out
I've had that problem. It lasted ages for me I'm afraid. It was embarrassing as I teach crafts in a school once a week and by the time I was finished I would be very wet. The way I got over it, was to mention it to people before I started. Most are very understanding. I told them it was a side effect of my meds and they completely understood.
Try this and see what reaction you get. I'm sure like me you'll only find understanding.
I'm hoping I can cope with it at work but it's in public where I struggle even walking the dog it's weird as when I'm doing weights it's nowhere near as bad in the garage.
Dreading the weather this week as it's going to be scorching
Could it be anxiety related then? Rather than a side effect of the ad?

I'm not sure all I know is that I never suffered with this until I started to take medicationOriginally Posted by Jaquaia
I have it as part of one of my medical conditions - I just tell people that I have a broken thermostat. I've recently bought something called neat 3B Face saver gel which is meant to help. I've not really had chance to try it out properly yet, but it does seem to help..
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
6 weeks and it's still not fully in your system - that can take up to 8 weeks. Do go and talk to your GP again if this is continuing. They might be able to suggest something?

Thing is I've been complaining about the side effect maybe a month or 2 after I first started to take the tabs all I got was it's just a common side effect.
I feel good ATM but I'm not going to continue to just put up with it I'll mention it again when I see the doc a week Friday I can guarantee he'll say it could be the duloxitine working its way out my system.
The thing I didn't like is him saying venlafaxine won't cause sweating when it's listed as a common side effect.
Its tricky I think I need some medication to help with my mood but not at the cost of feeling even more anxious and embarrassed.
If you don’t agree with the doctor, perhaps it’s worth seeing another one in the practice
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I've seen 1 doctor and then he referred me to a mental health practitioner who's worked with mind etc he's the one who's witched my meds to venlafaxine he said there's loads we can try but I'm beginning to think what's the point as everyone so far has caused this side effect.
It is like my internal body temperature has been raised since taking meds
