At the moment I am getting night sweats on a regular basis.

Should I be concerned? I am on medication at the moment such as setraline, ariprazole and propanolol/beta blockers.

I am also slightly overweight with a bmi score of 26.

Hi Jamesy,

Both Sertraline & Aripiprazole are medications which can increase sweating.

Sertraline being an SSRI (antidepressant) and Aripiprazole being an anti-psychotic.
