Members strongly related to the experience of excessive sweating during light activities, with many describing profuse head and forehead sweating that leaves them dripping and embarrassed while others around them remain comfortable. Several members identified potential causes including fibromyalgia medications like Cymbalta, Celexa, and Wellbutrin, menopause, or the condition itself, with some finding relief through medication changes or considering treatments like Botox injections or hormone replacement therapy. A recurring theme was the frustrating cycle of sweating excessively one moment and then feeling freezing cold the next, making temperature regulation unpredictable and socially uncomfortable.

Sweating is so bad I am considering botox. I can't take it anymore.

Yes!! All the time. I sweat just doing the dishes, after taking a shower which defeats the purpose( ha!) and any light activity like stretching or walking.

I would ask your doctor about that if you haven't already. Get another opinion if necessary. Who wants to go around sweating. If u have menopause or pre-menapause you can take HRT for it.

YES!!! Head/Neck sweating buckets! Sooo embarrassing to be dripping when everyone around you if fine. I too would go outside just to cool off in 40/50/60 degree weather at night. I found that some of my meds were to blame. Side effects of increased/excessive sweating for Celexa, Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. Even tho the sweating side effect was low, low on the lists, it affected me tremendously.
