What Causes Profuse Sweating While On Lexapro, Seroquel And Latuda?

I am on a combination of lexapro, seroquel, lithium, and latuda- am having a bad problem with profuse sweating that comes and goes throughout the day and night. I do see a psychiatrist, but she says she isn t aware of this particular side effect with these meds. I am not overweight, but do have controlled hypothyroidism on Synthroid and normal levels. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello,
It is possible that you are having too much serotonin stimulation from your medications. This can cause sweating. You really must let your psychiatrist know what is going on so that she can adjust your medications in a safe and effective manner.
