Males who use narcotics for chronic pain, eventually become
hormone suppressed. When testosterone levels fall then a MENopause of sorts happens.

But narcotic pain relievers also cause sweating as a side effect.
And so do antidepressants, and some other drugs as well.

If your blood sugar is bouncing around, you will have terrible sweating. If this occurs after a meal, it is called gustatory sweating and signals you should have a work up for diabetes.

If your thyroid is acting up you may get sweating too.

Many things besides the RSD problem can contribute.

If your sweating is mostly on the head...try a thick terry cloth sweat band..this may help keep it out of your face, etc.
