I've noticed that my body odour is much stronger and sharper when I take Dexedrine. Is this a common side-effect, and anything I can do about it?

To give an idea, I almost never wore deodorant or antiperspirant in the past, and could wear the same t-shirt more than once before needing to wash it.

Now after a long productive day on Dex (especially if I take the 15 mg spansule instead of just a 5 mg), my clothes have a sharp B.O. smell especially in armpits, and I have to do more laundry and wash my body more often.

I noticed that Dex makes me sweat alot more than when I was on Adderall, so it could just be it causing you to sweat more and return having B.O.

After googling I found that dex can make you sweat more, as well as affect your kidneys, digestion, endocrine system etc so I would say it's perfectly reasonable for your body odour to change.

It could also be indirectly related to dex: when on it, do you eat more/less? eat different foods? drink more/less? All these things can affect body odour.

I hate 100% cotton though! It needs ironing :D
