I take venlafaxine, generic for Effexor, would rather quit them and not sweat.

Withdrawals are one of the worst things I have ever felt. Feel for anyone going through them.

Hello Jan, I've just came off venlafaxine because of sweating, went from 300mg to nil in two wks under dr's recommendation, what a two wks it was, i thought i had flu to begin with until i realised it was withdrawl symptoms, but 4wks on much better, sweats have decreased but still there, good luck if your'e going to try to come off. xxx

Pharmacist told me paratoxines side effect is sweating & try & cut down very slowly.

I take paroxatine and it is definitely causing me to sweat more. I tried to go off it ages ago and didn't sweat at all. Also lost weight. Had to go back on it so am suffering from hot face head and neck again.
