I love being on Lexapro. It saved my life alongside good therapy and a better support system but the sweating drives me insane. I live in Scandinavia and recently it’s been very sunny and around 60 degrees (15C) every day and I am just miserably sweaty every time I go outside. 

I am 22F, a normal weight, eat well and exercise regularly etc. It’s incredibly embarrassing to show up to class / work / meeting friends / etc extremely sweaty, particularly because I tend to commute by bike. Any small amount of exertion makes me break out into sweat, and sometimes even being in a room over 70 will have me perspiration to hell and back. 

I’ve had this issue for a few years now but I finally nailed down the source to my Lexapro and now I don’t know what to do. Lexapro is vital to my mental health and I can’t go off it, but this is my first time living in a country without air conditioning and I’m dreading the upcoming summer— it’s miserable and very embarrassing to sweat this much. Has anyone else had similar issues and if so how have you dealt with it?
