It could be either. There's no way of telling. However, I suspect it is the duloxetine mostly because of the sweating. Duloxetine has a much greater affinity to dopamine transporter molecules than fluvoxamine and this is thought to be the main trigger for AD induced excessive sweating. Serotonin's effect on blood vessel tone, constriction and dilation may also play a part with duloxetine being one of the most serotonergic ADs. The other symptoms, dizziness and headaches are fairly common initial side-effects of most ADs. In most cases these side-effects diminish within a couple of weeks.
