'''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 [[serotonin|serotonergic]], [[Dopamine|dopaminergic]], or [[adrenaline|adrenergic]] effects may cause increased perspiration. It is also a common symptom of [[benzodiazepine]] and [[alcohol]] withdrawal.<ref>http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzcha03.htm</ref> [[Acetylcholine|Cholinergics]] and, to a lesser extent, [[opioid|opioids]] have been additionally implicated in causing ~~hyperhidrosis~~.<sup>[''citation needed'']</sup>
