A member asked:

I'm taking duloxetine for anti-anxiety - it works great, but too much sweats. also, when i try n switch to anything new, too much withdrawl. help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common problem: all drugs in this class can cause the unwanted sweating you are having. Switching to another agent, which may be equally effective, can be helpful in mitigating the symptom.
