Yep. For me, this passed after a while. Now if I forget a dose or 2
it comes back full force for a day. Great positive reinforcement.
XR is better it this respect thab regular Effexor.My sweaty tips:
1) Cotton everything. Cotton tee shirts under whatever are key.
This wicks the sweat away from your skin; sweat makes more sweat.
2) Kill that body hair. Electric clippers with a guard turn a bear into
a man.
3)This is one of the few times I recommend talc.
4)Key places to cool to stop sweating: Forehead, face, back of neck.
Misting water on the face and allowing to evaporate creates cooling.
Mix equal parts witch hazel and Evian if you want to get fancy.
Hats are out, the head is one big radiator.Sal can provide some meds that can help with this short term, if it
is too icky. It should pass. Raise dose slowly to avoid this problem.
You must increase intake of fluids to make up for the sweating.James
