altopower Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I started Wellbutrin about 3 weeks ago and am on 300 mgs. Ever since I started, I am SO DAMN HOT ALL THE TIME! I feel like I'm going through menopause. I sweat and sweat, and even get nauseous from being so hot. Is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else? Help please!

Atropis42 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I have heard from a friend that it made her sweaty. I just started on it, and don't have too much by way of side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igloo Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Sweaty was a problem for me but I seem more stable after 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Century Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 it does make a lot of people sweat. for some it goes away (it did for me) for some it doesn't (one friend just sweat the whole 2 years she was on it, but she eventually got used to it and said it was an ok side effect for her given how much it helped her.) give it a while, it may go away. if it is bothering you a lot, you may want to ask your doctor to try a lower dosage for a bit, and work your way up to 300mg. slow tapers can sometimes make all the difference in terms of side effects. ~penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianca Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was sweating too. I think I have stopped now. But it does come in phases. Its a small price to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hey B, I can't help you with the Wellbutrin, but I can tell you that I have been hot a lot on the Cymbalta. It drives me nuts. I'll be working around the house and keep taking off clothes till I'm down to a T-shirt (and it's about 17 degrees and windy outside). I'm hot at work and at at night when I'm sleeping. I know I've been hot while a sleeping ever since I've had kids, but this is worse since I started meds. I cannot even stand it if the furnace comes on while I'm getting ready for work in the am. Good luck! Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianca Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Yeah I'm not sure which one it is. I was having the hot flashes while I was just on Cymbalta. That seemed to go away. When I upped my WB to 300mg I think thats when I started having them again. It still could be the Cymbalta and the increase in WB started it back up again. Its like you never know whats actually going on inside. I know that when I was from my car to the elevator at work and get upstairs to my floor I'm hot as hell. I have to turn the fan on.

Greenyflower Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 For me, it's menopause+wellbutrin+zoloft. I am one hot mama. The overheating and sweaty side effects have diminished somewhat over 10 months, but I still can't be in a stuffy room with no air flow. I get sweaty, twitchy and claustrophobic. Not fun.
