Hello Vicki Price,

I would like to welcome you to the EmpowHER community and thank you for reaching out to us for help with your concern.

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating regardless of the temperature and even when the person is at rest.

Medications, such as tricyclic anti depressants, can cause this condition.

The following are tricyclic anti depressants:

Amitriptyline
Amoxapine
Desipramine (Norpramin)
Doxepin
Imipramine (Tofranil)
Nortriptyline (Pamelor)
Protriptyline (Vivactil)
Trimipramine (Surmontil)

Vicki, are you taking one of these medications?
