Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. In my opinion you are taking many drugs for anti convulsive treatment and also for anti depression, they might have side effects. Try tapering dose. Sweating could be because of hyperhidrosis. Take aluminium chloride topical cream and apply on affected area. Hope this helped you. Thanks.
