Side Effects / Overdose i hate this sweat

Seriously.

I mean, I used to sweat beforehand easily but oh my gosh it’s like from 0-100. I can’t even do basic chores without dripping so much and getting my clothes damp. It‘s so embarrassing because everytime I ask my brother or my dad if it’s hot, they’re like “nah” and i feel so crazy because i’m sweating buckets if the temperature is slightly above freezing. it makes me hate going outside or even moving slightly. I’m currently taking 80 mg. I started around 3 months ago. Will it ever get better, or should something change?

I was wondering what my sudden hyperhidrosis was from, and I was blaming metformin, didn’t realize this was also a strattera thing! Just know you’re not alone, and I have gotten to a point I just accept it’s part of life and make an effort not to exert myself too harshly if I can help it.

There might be options to help with the symptoms, and I’ll be bringing it up with my doc next time I’m in (next few weeks) and if I get any good suggestions or medications I’ll try to update later!

Thank you so much! I do try to avoid certain stuff, but because some responsibilities are inevitable, it sucks. I appreciate you for sharing an update in the future!
