Sweating and heat intolerance from antidepressant?

[holdmecloser08]

So I started taking Lexapro for anxiety and depression and it has really helped. However, before starting it I had symptoms of heat intolerance and now the heat intolerance is getting worse. I have to wear tank tops or I'll sweat through the tshirt. Even wearing a tank top like today and yesterday, I had dripping sweat from my armpits. I have to blast on the air conditioning and I am more heat intolerant than I have ever been. The medication is really helping but what can I do about the sweating? I got my thyroid tested and that is fine.

The sweats is a common side effect of this med.  I got it as well.  With me it was usually when I was trying to sleep.
