Hello,
Thank you for the query. I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. Excessive sweating in menopause in a very common symptom with which many women come to our clinic and it is quite normal as it is due to harmonal imbalance. But usually they are described as night sweats. So, coming to the medications you have mentioned I will definitely agree with you as the drugs you are using causes excessive sewating and for that you need to consult your treating doctor to take some help about the dose or if it irritates you much you can change the class which might help you. Thank you.
