In reply to do antipsychotics decrease sweating?, posted by delna on June 27, 2004, at 17:42:22
Hi
I saw this a litle late...but had to answer anyway.
When I was on Prozac I had extremely bad side effects (movement problems, sleep problems...not mild but severe)
But I also stopped sweating when I was outside in warm weather or in the sun. I had heat stroke 6 times in one year beause the doctor said SSRI's did not cause sweating problems! I quit and have not had problem with sweating since.
I do, however, still have some movement problems that have not gone away.....RLS that is 24/7, shaking, muscle jerks (not as bad as before though), constant blinking and mouth movements. It has been 8 years since I stopped taking Prozac...and it is not getting better. I have given up on doctors...they have no answers except it souldn't be happening!
Take care
