Since my anxiety and depression started some 28 years ago I was prone to sweating more than usual. I put up with this as it was manageable and apart from the odd flare up like a hot flush, it would calm down.
Since taking Venlafaxine about 2.5 years ago I have suffered sweating that is completely ridiculous. Even doing nothing I will sweat heavily. When I take the dogs out for a walk, I will come home soaked. My trousers and shirt will be soaked through and I will have sweat dripping from my head and fingertips. If I wear wellies I even have pools of sweat in them. The lockdown has been great for me as at work it was becoming impossible to deal with. If I wear anything other than black it is so obvious. Once I know people have noticed it then gets worse. The other issue is that it is everywhere. Not just armpits and hands but back, legs chest, head and arms.

I worry that if I move to another AD I will relapse. Thats even if it is the Venlafaxine doing it.
