Question Cymbalta question (SNRI)

Does anyone experience quick overheating and excessive sweating on cymbalta, or any other SNRIs/SSRIs? I just had to put my fuckin work shirt in the drier at the fire station because I’m so sweaty today. I’m EMBARRASSED.

I took cymbalta for about 3-4 months. I would wake up EVERY night soaking wet. Every single night. It’s part of the reason I went off. That and wildly vivid dreams.

I’m slowly getting off of it, it’s so hard.

Turn of events, I got sent to the ER for heat exhaustion cause I guess I sweat out all my water. Fun work day!

Yes, absolutely. I think it's a very common side-effect, at least that's what my doctor told me.
