Excessive sweating

Whenever I am walking anywhere which I do a lot despite only wearing short sleeves I am finding myself to be absolutely soaked. My usual deodorant is next to useless, although I'm not stinking I am uncomfortable.
Is anyone else dealing with this and if so what do you use

I am the same. My head sweats ridiculous along with the rest of me, especially when I change environments (inside/outside). I am 35 and my mum keeps asking if I'm peri menopausal. I'm on Fluoxetine and wondered if it could be side effect, but I'm thinking it could be my hormones after ready all your comments.

Sweating is a very common side-effect of fluoxetine. It's one of the worst SSRIs for sweating. It can also cause night sweats and hot flashes so it's probably the meds rather than peri-menopause given that you're only 35.

How many times a day did you take it? I’m 3x daily. Before breakfast, lunch and bed but still sweating a lot 🙈 just gone upto 2 tablets each time to see if it helps but making my mouth so dry
