"Sweating more than usual is a common side effect of Cymbalta (Duloxetine). This side effect may be worse with higher doses of the drug. In addition, hot flashes (also called hot flushes) are a possible side effect of this medication."
As it is a common side effect it should subside within a week to 10 days. I Suggest you ask your Pharmacist/Dr. what you can take meanwhile.
With regards to " Sage" it is a good idea, Salvia has been used in treating hot flashes in menopausal women and sweating. Do clear it with your Pharmacist first as it is the weekend, do inform your Dr. on Monday that you are taking Sage (if your Pharmacist clears the use of it).
