I quit taking it after taking 11 capsules because I didn't feel comfortable taking a drug for depression when I didn't have depression. I wasn't told not to suddenly quit and recently, upon checking into the drug, I found that a side effect is excessive sweating. I had been wondering why I can't handle being outside for even a few minutes without sweating profusely. Is there something that can be done to treat or stop this?

Hi there
I too take this drug for depression and for nerve pain. I was not aware of the excess sweating until now. Thank you for sharing.
Take care!
