> I have been on Effexor XR 225MG for about 6 months. I sweat terrible. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and change my shirt. I keep my house very cool, to the point where my feet are cold, but I still sweat. The benefits of feeling better mentally outweigh some side effects!

> DebbieI have found that at a constant dose of 75 mg my depression has eased,and the sweats are gradually going away. Generally speaking no one can state matter of fact that the sweats never go away. I think it is a misleading comment. For some of us it does. I hope that is of some comfort to those of you with the sweating problem.
