> I can't deal with the sweating. There's gotta be some drug that helps with this. Most docs don't even know about this side-effect. 2-4 meds cause this to happen. Just the slighest exersion, and I overheat, sweating like crazy. I can't get *anything* done outside, and most stuff inside. I require AC and fans all the time.

Hi Enigma,
Here are some meds that are supposed to help with the medication induced sweating.

To the Editor: Sweating is a common side effect of treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and occurs in 7% to 19% of depressed patients in placebo-controlled studies (Physician’s Desk Reference, 2001). This can lead to discontinuation of treatment. Two case reports have described the use of clonidine for the treatment of sweating induced by amitriptyline (1) and SSRIs (2). Also, there have been two case reports on the use of benztropine in the treatment of venlafaxine-induced sweating (3, 4). The following are the first cases of which we are aware of successfully using cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist and antihistamine, for the treatment of SSRI-induced sweating.Published Online, 22 February 2005, www.theannals.com, DOI 10.1345/aph.1E564.
