many drugs can cause sweating

July 2006

People are surprised that many drugs can cause sweating.

Antidepressants are a common culprit. About 1 in 7 patients on venlafaxine (Effexor XR) get some degree of sweating...up to 1 in 16 for those on bupropion (Wellbutrin XL or SR).

It's also fairly common with SSRIs...TCAs...and Cymbalta.
