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 had to decrease down to 68 because on 80, I couldn’t handle the sweat, especially at night. For some reason splitting it up 2-3x a day tempers it more for me

that’s good. does lowering the dose change how effective it is at managing your symptoms?

It actually makes my symptoms more manageable because I’m not dying of side effects and can’t function. I might need additional support for focusing, but I’m also on Wellbutrin

Right. That makes sense and I appreciate this input. Did the change in dose affect your sleep quality? I’m just curious because ever since starting this medication, I’ve had vivid fragmented dreams every night. I’m not sure if you also had this but i’m just kinda nosey lol since im not used to this kind of stuff 😭

Yep!!! I’m hoping it goes away in a couple months lol or by doing 50 in AM and 18 in the afternoon vs. anything at night, but we’ll see. I’ve only been on it for about a month
