Improvement of Antidepressant-Induced Sweating with As-Required Benztropine

[摘要] Antidepressant-induced excessive sweating (ADIES) is a common antidepressant-related side effect, and its prevalence is estimated to range from 4 to 22 percent.1 Adverse effects are a common reason for nonadherence and discontinuation of antidepressant medication, and alleviating these side effects may improve adherence and promote positive outcomes. We report a case of ADIES that improved with as-required use of benztropine, an anticholinergic agent.
