Hey redlynz,
Excessive sweating is a common side effects of many antidepressants, including escitalopram (Lexapro). Unfortunately, I think you are going to have a hard time finding one that doesn't have this side effect, at least that is my experience.
I have just learned to live with it and drink plenty of fluids when I have to be outside in the heat.
