Brief Answer:
Anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
I have gone through the side effect profile of the drugs you are on, none of the drugs cause these issues. Most probably it is anxiety which is causing this issue however before just calling it that I would like you to approach this problem this way
1. Get yourself checked for thyroid disorder, serum cortison and diabetes, these are the most common reasons for excessive sweating
2. If the above results are normal I would like you to take a tilt table test, the other rare cause for excessive sweating is autonomic dysfunction.
3. If the above conditions are normal then it is most likely due to anxiety, approach your psychiatrist for help regarding this
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
