SSRI's sweating through your pores?
Hey, what's odd to me is that sometimes I smell the "stale cigarette" odor. But what's worse, my husband has accused me of either starting smoking or having an affair with someone who does. I don't and I haven't!!! But it's been a mystery to me!

Before I start looking elsewhere for an explanation I thought I would ask if anyone else has experienced any olfactory side effects from taking Lexapro.

> Have you ever been a cigar smoker - or around other cigar smokers? The reason I ask, is that I seem to smell cigarette smoke fairly frequently recently- when no one is smoking around me. I gave up cig smoking years ago - but seem to be especially sensitive to its scent. I sometimes smell it in my house - when no one is smoking. Interesting to see if they might be related. Thanks for posting and good luck. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
