The sweating got better for a little bit, but for the last few years, I've grown to completely be intolerant of heat. When I started treatment for all my MI, I also started on a medication that put me into short term menopause, meaning that I had hot flashes ALL the time. I would sit in the freezer at work for 30 minutes on my break and sweat. Since I stopped taking the med 2 years ago, I stopped being as hot all the time but I still sweat constantly. Sweat rolls down my face immediately when I step outside, I sweat when I'm in the air conditioning, I sweat from the back of my knees when I wear shorts and my legs get soaked (TMI) the boob sweat is unbearable and I'm only a small B(!!), I sweat all over my abdomen. It soaks through all of my clothes and shows up from the outside. Aside from that, as soon as I start feeling hot, I become completely useless. My brain stops working, I get dizzy and tired and slow and very irritable. Even when I KNOW I'm not dehydrated at all, and have plenty of electrolytes. I don't know what to do. Being stuck inside all the time makes me super anxious but I can't function feeling like this. I don't know which of my meds could be making me heat intolerant or sweat so much, if they're the cause. HELP!!

I take Trileptal, Saphris, Vyvanse & Adderall (but I sweat when I do NOT take them), Cymbalta, Buspar. Any ideas?
The vyvanse and Adderoll is essentially speed which causes your metabolism to increase producing heat. I always sweat when on amphetamines.

But I've also noticed that psych meds make me heat intolerant.
