Profouse Diaphoresis Due To Intake Of Effexor For Depression. Suggestion?

I have been on Effexor for approx 4 years. I take 150 mg daily. I weaned off about 2 years ago due to the profuse diaphoresis. i am a wet mess all day and night. That side effect lessened during thev2 weeks I was off of it, but I had to start back on it due to the rapid worsening of depression symptoms. I am trying to handle this side effect, but I get so frustrated and sad because I am so miserable being damp all of the time. Is this side effect less with Any other Antidepressants ?

uSUALLY The all the Antidepresants are having side effects. But while long time using most of the side effects getting minimal or your body adjust them especialy the latest drugs when compared with the olden tricyclic drugs. But your psychiatrist should decide the weigtage both antidepresion and sideeffects.
