Brief Answer:
Bupropion can causes excessive sweating but not exclusively
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nausea is so common that any medicine would causes it.
Regarding the sweating, again many drugs can causes it , but excessive sweating is a well recognized side effect of bupropion; in fact literature has reported as to be about up to 5 % people may have excessive sweating with bupropion.
so I wonder if this may be the cause.
Thyroxine is another that can causes excessive sweating and palpitation and heat intolerance. Specially if you also feel palpation health intolerance (this may be indicated by suppression of TSH when checked, it's unlikely of the TSH is normal ) in would suggest you check it if already not done.
So that's what we can consider at the moment. To be confident to say this, we should know the relation of this thing with starting the drug as if you could just remember whether this thing started after initiation of any drugs specially bupropion ( if yes then this may be the cause) .
however if you have other symptoms symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain then you should consult your doctor. As any effect would only be considered to be caused by a drug once we rule out any other cause or disease for it.
Hope I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this. Please don't hesitate to ask anything in this regard.
