No: The meds are probably causing peripheral vasodilitation & sweating (could also be some other factor--hormones) if it is intolerable you could ask your doc to make some med changes but you run the risk of exacerbating your other symptoms.

Prescribing: Some people feel that a separate medication should be given to "combat" each symptom -- rather than investigating causes or seeing systemic inter-relationships. Is this maybe you? Excessive sweating can indicate issues with your medications (possible serotonin overload, for instance). Please work with your physician to review & deal with this, rather than automatically seeking another drug.

Wellbutrin/Sweat: Treating the cause is better than managing the symptom. Talk to your doctor about the medications you are on, to see if any adjustment is needed.
