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 [[serotonin|serotonergic]], [[Dopamine|dopaminergic]], or [[adrenaline|adrenergic]] effects may cause increased perspiration. It is also a common symptom of [[benzodiazepine]] and [[alcohol]] withdrawal. | Increased perspiration is a hallmark symptom of sympathetic arousal (the "fight-or-flight" response) and is a common effect of [[stimulant]] drugs.
