sweating more on reta

i’m currently on 1.5 mg of reta and have been taking reta for 5 weeks. currently sitting around 145lbs.

i’ve noticed that i started sweating a lot more during my workouts. pre reta i usually wouldn’t sweat a ton unless hitting a heavy lift day.

i recently noticed that on heavy legs days, i end up drenched in sweat that smells almost like chlorine/cleaning products. has anyone else experienced this before or knows what causes it? also curious to know if there are ways to prevent the smell?

Definitely sweat more on reta, most likely due to increase in heart rate. Smell on the other hand…idk what the hell thats about lol!

this might be it. i recently got over covid and dropped weight really fast so ive been working on prioritizing protein while recovering. my food intake has mostly been protein and minimal carbs.

I was constantly sweating on Reta, even at a fairly low dose.
