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 especially used when extremely low blood pressure (shock) is also present. Consequently, the term diaphoresis is sometimes defined as "sweat shock syndrome". All terms refer to an abnormally large increase in sweating, regardless of the cause.[1]
Hyperhidrosis 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.[2] Cholinergics and, to a lesser extent, opioids have been additionally implicated in causing hyperhidrosis.[citation needed]
