In reply to A somewhat embarassing question...., posted by Greg on June 6, 2000, at 14:20:41
Greg - I know I said I wasn't going to answer any posts, but this board seems to refocus my mind.
As to the odor thing. With depression, senses seem dulled (at least they did for me). Once my depression resolved I noticed that my sense of smell returned (eg. I thought that I could smell old sweat in freshly laundered clothes, esp. work-out clothes). It may be that your sense of smell has returned.
Or, like others have said, the change in neurotransmitters may have changed the chemical composition of the sweat in your sweat glands and ADs do (may) make you sweat more. I have not seen any studies on changed composition of sweat, though (another PhD thesis topic complements of Cam).
Hope this helps - Cam.
