What Causes Excessive Sweating After Taking Fluoxetine?
I have recently increased a daily dose of fluoxetine from 20mg to 40mg . I m experiencing excessive sweating for 1-2 hours after taking the medication. I m not certain that this is the problem but wondered if it would help to slit the dosage : 20mg morning and 20mg evening. Thank you, Irene
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, without any indication it is not at all advisable to increase the dose of medicine and not even without the advise of your physician what the symptoms you have could be due to increase the dose, better to keep the lowest possible dose, hope this information helps.
