Antidepressant medication may cause excessive sweating. Night sweats can be caused by some pain killing medication with narcotic components like fentanyl. Nicotine and caffeine may also cause excessive sweating.

Some medicines that can cause hot hlash-like symptoms: Any medication which makes your body process and break down estrogen faster than normally can cause hot flashes, because that produces a functional "mini-menopause", with a milder version of the usual hot flashes, mood swings, poor sleep, vaginal dryness and decrease in libido, etc. Some anti-seizure medicines can do this--Tegretol, for instance. There are other meds that can do this, too. Other medicines, like the B Vitamin niacin, cause the little arteries to the sking to relax/widen, and this can cuaue a flushing/stinging a lot like a sunburn--temporary and harmless, though.

extacy and PCB both trigger sweating directly, cocane and speed both make people rush about, which can cause sweating, and hallucinogenics can trigger a terror response, causing cold sweats.

Off the top of my head, Opiates (a strong narcotic for pain) can cause excessive sweating in many patients.
