When I took Effexor, I had excessive sweating. Never had problems aside from that, but sweat regulation could be norephinephrine related, or related to hypothalamic dysfunction. Have you taken your temperature lately?

Dehydration is caused by lots of meds, which you already know. But I would take it more seriously, as someone said, symptoms like that could be related to mental health. Hope you get this checked by your doc.

There's a name for the condition.

Journal: Archives of Neurology

We studied a 66-year-old woman with spontaneous periodic hypothermia (Shapiro's syndrome) to determine the mechanisms that result in increased plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels. In comparison with age-matched control subjects, compartmental analysis of NE kinetics revealed an increased NE release rate into the extravascular compartment and decreases in NE clearance and volume of distribution of NE in the intravascular compartment. Clonidine therapy was associated with an initial dramatic decrease in the frequency of diaphoretic episodes as well as with a fall in NE release rate and increases in NE clearance and volume of distribution. We conclude that increased NE release and decreased plasma NE clearance result in elevated plasma NE levels in Shapiro's syndrome. Clonidine, which was associated with changes in NE kinetics, may provide effective treatment for this disorder.

Vey few cases of Shapiro's syndrome describe endocrine abnormalites. Abnormal thermoregulation is thought to be due to hypothalamic dysfunction. We suggest in our case that hypothalamic dysfunction may also cause abnormalities of water balance that mimic resetting of osmoreceptors. The significant appetite disturbance, which has not previously been described in Shapiro's syndrome may also be secondary to hypothalamic dysfunction.
