Can Lexapro cure excessive sweating associated with situational anxiety?
I suffer from what has been diagnosed as a combination of hyperhydosis (specific to the facial region) and anxiety which triggers the facial sweating. For the past 15 years I have suffered from excessive facial sweating when in social settings and or high anxiety situations i.e. speaking in front of a group, conducting presentations etc. As you may or may not know, this can be extremely embarassing and hamper both your personal and professional life. I have tried almost everything….beta blockers, anti-depressants, topical solutions, xanax etc. Recently, I was told the Lexapro can be used to treat anxiety, and even though that night sweating IS a side effect, if you take it consistantly for 4-6 weeks, sweating will actual disappear. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I’m desparate for treatment. I have a job where I must speak/present often, and I can’t afford another sweaty presentaion!
