When I exert myself I sweat profusely and it doesn’t take long. I’ve taken anti psychotic meds for thirty four years and I believe my body has changed. I started sweating about fifteen years ago. I cannot work a physical job because of it, I would sweat a dangerous amount, yes, it’s that bad. Does anyone else have this? BTW I have no involuntary movements (tardive) but I do have strange compulsions in my body, licking lips and moving my feet, though I licked my lips as a child, a nervous habit.
Have you brought this up with your psydoc/gp? Could be a side effect and worth finding out why. You may be able to change meds…always a risk but it’s serious enough to investigate.
I’ve talked about it many, many times with my GP and pdoc. All anti psychotic meds cause it and it may persist even if I go off meds entirely. There is medicine you can take to make it stop but it causes psychosis.

Sweating is good ! Means you’re staying busy and keeping the bodies away.
Most probably it’s because you gained a lot of weight due to antipsychotics and thus you sweat more doing the same amount of tasks
If you’re sweating that means you’re doing something right !
It’s not from weight gain, or not entirely, maybe age and being overweight. My GP said it’s better than not sweating enough. But it is a ridiculous amount!
When I was on a high dose of Diazepam, I used to sweat loads
Ruined a lot of my t-shirts as they got stained under the arms
As for light sensitivity my apartment is perfect.
At my computers I have LED down lighters that have 30 settings and 3 different light colours
In my living spaces, I bought light shades that cut down half way down the walls.
Light sensitivity for me can be really bad, and I find it overwhelming. Probably not as much as texture/touch though
My clothes have to be a certain type of fabric otherwise I won’t wear them
