Me too ...... I'm on Prozac ......
Makes you feel really attractive standing in the office with a sweaty shiny face when everyone else is moaning about the cold!!! Have to sleep with all bedroom windows open and a bedside fan .......

Could be an anxiety symptom too tho.
I sweat alot and I'm not on any meds at all.
I've seen some posts regarding sweating and anxiety. If you want to search for them, just go to search and put in the keyword 'sweat' or 'sweating' and some should pop up.

Yes I have been taking Sertraline and hot sweats are one of the side effects. After starting on 100mgs daily, then 50mgs I now break that in half and take half daily. I can't wait to be off them altogether. My GP has been lots of help, and continues to monitor me.

i have a freind who's a qualified homeopath and he said go to the health shop and get sage tablets as they help with the sweating

he also said to get a small bottle cos they only work in 90% of cases
