My sweating will start if my shower is too warm, so I'm dripping the whole time I'm getting dressed (ick); it takes sitting down (still) for at least half an hour in a cool place before it will stop. And I usually drink water also if I'm trying to cool down.

Steve2, I sweat from Effexor-XR too (but usually at night); the daytime feeling of being "hot" and sweaty disappeared after a few weeks. BTW, I should have said "perspire" instead of "sweat" (females don't sweat, they perspire! I forgot!) ;)
