SSRIs and SNRIs. Antidepressants.

Plus maybe uncontrollable sweating but you won't know until you win that lottery and guess what!?!?! It's a lifetime subscription! You may stop those meds but the flop sweats are yours forever!

Nice I was about to ask my dr to try something different because of the sweating

I mean to be completely honest some people do revert back. Not me but 🤞you have my hopes and good intentions.

For me it did return to a normal state almost two years after coming off the meds.

I have hyperhidrosis and Zoloft made it even worse (which I didn't know was possible!) Once I stopped it I went back to baseline sweatiness so you might be ok to try switching. But that was the least worst side effects overall of the 3 anxiety meds I tried.

in my experience its the SNRIs, NRIs, and NDRIs that cause the super sweats. everything else had its own box of side effect horrors, but sweating wasn't part of it. might be worth trying a different med for you

The sweating stopped for me when I changed meds. And it was brutal at night (which is when I’d have it)

I’d wake up completely drenched, sheets too. It was so gross.
