'''Increased perspiration''', or '''hyperhidrosis''', is the condition characterized by abnormally increased sweating, in excess of that required for regulation of body temperature. The term diaphoresis is also used, and is essentially synonymous.  Diaphoresis, however, is quite commonly used when extremely low blood pressure (shock) is also present. Consequently, the term diaphoresis is sometimes defined as "sweat shock syndrome".

Increased perspiration, or hyperhidrosis, can be described as a condition characterized by increased sweat which is in excess of that required for the regulation of body temperature.

Increased perspiration is a hallmark symptom of sympathetic arousal (the "fight-or-flight" response) and is a common effect of stimulant drugs. Any psychoactive drug which exerts considerable serotonergic, dopaminergic, or adrenergic effects may cause increased perspiration. It is also a common symptom of benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal. Cholinergics and, to a lesser extent, opioids have been additionally implicated in causing this as well.[citation needed]
