I take lots of meds (lexapro, neurontin, desipramine, dexedrine, lithium, and ambien) to control anxiety and depression. I'm actually not interested in messing with them in the near future b/c it has been so hard to find something that works. But this situation puzzles me. I have lots of the usual s/e's like dry mouth, sweating, etc. However, sometimes I get really warm and start sweating a lot and my hands get very cold. I feel sort of clammy I guess. This has usually happened when I am out shopping or something. Moving around a lot. It isn't like a social anxiety type thing, it's just physical changes.

It looks like you are taking a tricyclic and stimulant, both of which will cause dry mouth and other changes. I have ADD and take a stimulant and have experienced the dry mouth, and feeling warm at times.
