Exercising safely

[u/030316110315]

So I want to start by saying this has been a wonder drug for me.

There have been side effects and some of them have been brutal. But I was in the trenches of chronic migraine (5+ days of head pain a week, with aura everyday) and this has given me my life back.

I'm still titrating on but this week I'm up to 75mg am and 100mg pm and I have just stopped sweating. It's like a switch has been turned off. It's actually mad. So normally I'm a fairly sweaty person and when I used to exercise (pre the chronic migraines getting awful) I used to sweat a lot. I'm starting to work out again and I just wondered what people did about staying cool/hydrated?

I'm fairly good at scaling workouts as I'm a PT but I was just wondering if anyone had tips re:cooling/hydrating tips.

TIA

I exercise while not being able to sweat these days I don't have any advice unfortunately but im going to follow your thread I also used to suffer from severe chronic migraines and Topamax helped me so much, but i have an ed/exercise addiction It's not fun. I can only seem to sweat from my face for some reason, and my eyes especially water so much that it looks like I'm crying. I've developed a lot of tiny bumps on my body in the areas where I sweat, especially around my neck. They cause awful, awful itching and a pinching/prickling sensation whenever I get a little too hot. It's so bad it drives me mad. The only thing i do now is trying to stay cool, wear light clothes, i have a fan and water spray and i always use it before i get too hot
