Hi,
Just found this wonderful site. I am hoping to hear from folks who have had the problem with sweating and switched to an SSRI that did NOT produce that side effect. I am being switched from Zoloft to Lexapro in the hope of losing that side effect (and others), but having just read the package insert, I am not so optimistic. Anyone have any good news in this area? Thanks,
Sadie

I was a sticky mess and hated it, but none of my doctors mentioned any connection with the Zoloft. Finally I deciphered all the lingo in the manufacturers' inserts on all the meds that I was taking and figured out that it could be the Zoloft.
