I get random sweating throughout the day and it's the peak of winter. Almost every night I wake up multiple times drenched in sweat. It's 68° F in my room. I'm on Wellbutrin and Cymbalta an NDRI and SNRI like the lecturer was talking about
I donât sweat at night - but the moment the slightest activity or social anxiety starts Iâll start dripping and itâs just got worse over time. Becoming really socially debilitating as even just walking down the road Iâll look like Iâve just been doing hill sprints. Itâs not even profuse sweating from armpits or palms itâs full on the top of the head down, the arms the legs everything
Same here
I just now realized that I too have this problem.
Be alright
Most underreported AE of antidepressants by far.
I love this guy
I have to put ice packs on pulse areas so it cools my blood. Sweat from venlafaxine. I do this after housework and being in a hot car especially.
Started getting this side effect as soon as i raised my dose of cipralex from 5 to 10mg. Exactly like this doctor said sweating from the chest area and up.
@@PinkBlondeBarbiexo yeap happened to me as well but it got better after a week or 2 when your body gets used to it.
@@PinkBlondeBarbiexo yeah it was pretty bad at start but it got better after a week or 2 and now i don't get it anymore. Good luck đ€
My doctor was horrible to me when I complained about it he basically said reduce the dosage and be less well or put up with the sweating. I unfortunately hurt my spine badly and although I did physical work sweating was easier to explain and wipe away but now the only job I can do is retail work and Iâve been sacked on 2 occasions for sweating as customers complained and the employers both jumped to the same conclusion that I was a heavy drinker although Iâm not and told me to deal with my obvious problem. I have to convince my doctor to prescribe something or Iâll never work again.
I hope all is going well with you. Good luck. It sure is debilitating to sweat doing simple everyday things. Iâve been suffering for 10 years!
lynngroll1 Iâm still struggling to hold down employment as retail arenât happy with my sweating and I mentioned these 2 drugs to my GP but said he wonât prescribe due to being a test study so Iâm seriously considering buying it online even if it is slightly illegal but Iâve found several sites who sell both and I already know a person who orders sedatives from that site and they are legit. I wouldnât normally consider it but Iâm getting desperate. Oddly when I was able to do physical jobs it wasnât a big deal as a certain amount of sweat is acceptable and in a warehouse itâs easy to find ways of hiding or nipping off to the bathroom to dry myself but Iâm fed up being humiliated whilst serving someone on a till and they look at me with disgust in their eyes at the sweat running off me even one day I actually ran out the shop. How about yourself are you able to hold down employment with this disability?

I was finally able to get off of cymbalta and down to 1 100mg of Wellbutrin. I still have horrible sweats now and then! I also just found out that ibuprofen can make you sweat and itch terribly!
I feel so bad for you because I know what itâs like to just stand doing hardly anything and sweat pouring off of you đThe only thing that calms it down for me is a half of .05 Xanax. My doctor doesnât give it to me sooooo..... I found other waysđ
Chlorpromazine blocks both alpha 1 and muscarinic receptors. Is that why it causes thermodysregulation. I think more people have hyperhydrosis but donât report it, most people only complain about their top 2-3 most bothersome side effects even though they are experiencing more than reported.
I only sweat excessively when I sleep. I wake up with wet pjs! It's like some one pour a bucket of water on me.
Me too!! I do get it during the day too, especially my face
Yes exactly the same here. Have u guys found a way around it?
@@karlipeters3472 I stopped taking antidepressants and so far I'm ok. I wish I could tell you I found a way around sweating so much but unfortunately I did not
Lol me too. I just make my bed with 2 sheets and 2 blankets. I wake up soaked and just move to the dry set of bedding. And i no longer sleep in clothes, pointless.
@@marys3738 so sweating at night is worse than the depression that lead you to using antidepressants? Change your mentality, something as simple as sweat should not cause such stress.
I tried telling my psychiatrist and she blamed it on getting hot like no ive noticed i have been sweating alot more even in a cold environment i even drench in my own sweat and it makes me feel gross with myself because i work 12 hours shift so imagine no time to put deodorant because your busy with patients and walking around smelling badly like B.O and feeling worse because you know its yourself because you smell yourself
I've always been a sweaty person, but the last couple years, the profuse sweating from my FACE has been debilitating u_u
Be alright
Great presentation!
I sweat so much that I have to change my bed cover every second day
Iâve been on Seetraline and Bupropion for a year and the sweating is just insanely frustrating. Only ten minutes after I start normal exercise do I have sweating dripping from my upper body, especially my hairline, upper back, torso, and arms. Itâs really everywhere on my body but worst in those places. Cant wait to get off these meds if it will stop this from continuing
Bro do u have acne on face and your body
â@@-pp5424 No I didn't at the time, I'm on different meds now but the sweat seemed more water-like than regular sweat and didn't cause that much skin irritation
@@noskcaj1665 oh â€đđ» happy to hear that brother
Duuude Wellbutrin made my head sweat so bad. Face always red, dripping down my neck. Made wearing makeup challenging. Could never wear my hair down. It was so gross and made me more depressed! Counterintuitive.
Zoloft has a distinct scent 24/7 in sweat, especially night sweat, it's really a struggle! I hope to find out what to do to address the zoloft "scent" as hyperhydrosis only tx doesn't address that. Wanting to come home after 3 hours at work, not ideal, not the type of condition that a change of clothes helps its an all body experience đȘ
i have been sweating heavily since i started zoloft. I live in CA so i thought it was climate change LOL upperbody night sweats have been the worst for my insomnia!!
I'm on day 4 and in the heat here in Oregon I have been soaked like I was already not good in the heat but Holy cow.
same here, im in humid summer indiana and iâve been on zoloft for almost 2 years, but i also have hyperhidrosis genetically and hormonally.. i wake up, and my sheet and covers are soaked in sweat.
Maybe we all need to team up and design SSRI-sweats friendly clothes & bed linens....
Thank you for this, Iâll try anything!!
Be alright
How did it go?
Now wonder I sweat so much when it is hot outside out hot in the house or while the heat is in in the house or car.
Iâm on seroquel it really sucked I canât go no where In the summer or spring without sweating really bad itâs embarrassing and I want to get off it
Hiw did it go?
I sweated profusely on 200mg of Sertraline.
I use fleece blankets like tear offs over my mattress
Thanks doctor đ
Does medication cause us to sweat when we wake up, where our bed just drips
It definitely gave me hot flashes. Id be laying on the floor and whoosh.. hotflash and sweat.

Rajnish Mago, MD
Dry mouth common syptoms
Glycopyrolate worked a short time for me, but the sweating is back, worse then ever now
I'm 3 months off zoloft and still getting sweats đ my gp doesn't believe this they are clueless. I'm on hrt and was ok before going on this poison .
HRT can cause excessive sweating, it's because of the change in your hormone levels
I take lexapro and wake up soaked from sweat at night and horrible dreams 10 mg of lexapro I might reduce my dose ???? Dear god any advice
Me too
@@saharsaleeb7009 you wake up soaked in sweat? Itâs awful all on the neck and back so much sweat âŠ.. how many mg do you take I have to come down from 10 itâs to much
Does prazosin help excessive sweating same as terazosin?
Hello, im taking vortioxetine a relatively new snri, can someone tell me if this is also a side effect. I swear i sweat more since taking it
What is solution đ
I love the extra sweat when im at the gym...
My bed is visibly soaked every night tho lol.
Best comment đ lol
Do u take Zoloft and how much mg?
We can modified antidepressants
Sweating is keeping me from living a normal life đ
Be alright
me too
Did you try it? Did it work
It's strange. I completely stop sweating after a few beers.
Alcoholic is a depressant and dropping your serotonin levels. So that makes sense but doesn't help depression
I am exactly the same my friend after a couple of beer s it's all gone
Thought it was hyperhidrosis
It's disgusting I sweating food I eat.... How can I get my normal body order... Because if I eat smelly food I sweat it.... Is there is way to remove all ssri
Eat foods with less sulfur and avoid a lot junk foods
Iâm on 100MG Sertraline and I wake up completely drenched in sweat. It makes me so frustrated that I get more anxious and mad đ€š
Did anyone find a way around it?? Pls tell me yâall found some technique around it đ
In my exprience, Antidepressants has never worked but always caused unbearable side effects.
Same here
I was on a lower of venlafaxine the sweating lasted a shorter time now on a higher dose and it's horrible...could this be why.
Ruined my life
omg me as fuck bestie
Im sweating so bad on lithium
What is solution đ
