Sir: Excessive sweating is a common adverse effect of many antidepressant medications. Its prevalence with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is between 7% and 19% depending on the drug.1 In a meta-analysis2 of clinical trials pooled across SSRIs, the rate of sweating as an adverse effect was 10%.

From the Editors
