How do I stop night sweats caused by antidepressants?
You may be able to stop night sweats caused by antidepressants by lowering the drug's dosage or switching to a different antidepressant. If altering medication isn't possible, using benztropine or cyproheptadine may help reduce sweating. One group study concluded that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can lower night sweats during menopause. This may be worth bringing up with a healthcare provider if night sweats are persistent.
