> Yep, I have the sweating. No one's ever had any solutions. My docs seemed unimpressed by this side effect, even though it's the number one distressing SE I get from Nardil. It's frustrating. And it means that I do much less outside in the summer than I used to, because it's too annoying to come in totally drenched after only about 15 minutes of activity.

> ggDang, that doesn't sound promising. I hear you on the frustration.. I'm 5'9" and 167 pounds... only a tiny gut at 38. I was 160-165 pounds when I was in my low 20's. If I was really out of shape, that would be one thing, but... I barely exert myself at all, even in a cool room, and wammo, super sweat. I expected this side-effect again, but not at the bare lowest dose of Selegiline. I scared to increase my dosage now.
I probably should have just went with the Abilify for 1-2 weeks at least before even starting Seleg. to see if my mood/depression/irritability improved. Wondering if I should quit the Seleg. now, and see how I do. Why suffer from side-effects (and have MAOI drug/food limitations) if I don't need to?
The insomnia is intense, as in the sweating, as is the loss of appetite (which was already a problem). Doubt the MAOI would be kicking in, in one week, anyway.
