Possibly: Sweating is a side effect reported in 5-10% of people taking fluoxetine. If this symptom is troubling you, follow up with the prescribing provider. He/She can try a different medication or adjust the dose. You may find that this side effect goes away after taking the medication for a couple more weeks.

It's possible: This is a potential side effect, which may not be related to dose. There are approaches to this, as diverse as switching medications to laser treatments to botulinum toxin. Discuss with your prescribing physician for potential options that might work for you.
