Zoloft Sweats!! Cant take it!! But need it :(

Zoloft Sweats!! Cant take it!! But need it :(

I was on Zoloft 100mg for a year and recently ive been weening myself off of it because I couldnt take the sweating while on it.  Now that im almost completely off it, im realizing my depression is still there. (Mom died, addicted to vic now cutting subutex out slowly but surely...)  I want to go back on an antidepressant but when I took Lexapro it also made me sweat.  Its a huge inconvenience.  It makes me feel uncomfortable and disgusting.  
So heres my question(s):
Is there anything I can take to maybe counteract with the Zoloft or lexapro?  I really need to go back on this antidepressant but I cant handle sweating like a pig 24-7.

or

is there anything that is "the best"??  I know everyone different and there really isnt a best one out there but from experience, what do you guys think is a good way to go?  It doesnt help that im trying to loose weight and most of these things cause weight gain.  
Im not asking for Dr-ly advice.  Im going to my dr today but I just want some general input.. Maybe someone has used something that made the sweating go away or atleast bearable?  

Side note- ill be starting the amino protocol for my sub withdrawal within this week (if the doc OKs) so I understand SSRIs arent to be taken with some of the medication it suggests.  Maybe it would be better to stay off depression meds and just take the stuff for the wd while im getting off sub?

Sorry if this is kinda confusing.  Its just as confusing in my head as well lol

I've been on so many I can't count. In my head I am trying to think of one that did not make me sweat, but none come to mind.

I live in the south and I have the same problem you have with this issue. I sweat like a damn pig because of my meds. Lithium...OMG it's the worst when it comes to sweating.

In the winter it is tolerable for me. Are you finding this winter a relief for you?

Not everyone has this side effect to antidepressants, but it appears we do.
I have seriously considered moving to a cold climate state just because of this problem.
