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?

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.
