Do armpits inadvertently smell after usage of psychiatric medications and their side effects causing bacteria to form?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects vary: Ssri antidepressants and some major tranquilizers with serotonin effects may cause increased sweating, especially night sweats. So one's axillary regions may be wetter.
