Risks benefits. : There are risks and benefits with every medication. If the sweating is something you are willing to put up given the benefit of being on the medication it is fine, if it is too bad and you can't stand it then discuss it with your physician ands see about other options. Keep open communication with your physician and discuss risks, benefits, side effects and your reactions.

Possible Side Effect: Citalopram can cause this as a serotonin side effect--did it start when you began the medicine or increased the dose? Please be sure you have notified your doctor so they can check for other serotonin effects. Your Loratadine and diazepam mix safely with citalopram. I hope the citalopram has been helpful. Increase fluids and dress lightly.
