Im on duloxetine right now and love it, but sweating too much. what would be good to switch to and help with weight loss?

Fix it,don't change!: Let's see if you can keep it! Sometimes this side effect clears in 2-3 months. You can also talk with your prescriber about using a low dose anticholinergic medication like cogent in 1 mg every mornning, if medically possibly. But then you may have side effects from it! Or the fall/winter is coming, cold weather, that is if living North of the equator!! If it is helping you much try to keep it.
