4. Excessive Sweating that is Greasy

Sweating, although sometimes embarrassing, is the human body’s way of cooling off. It works by the body recognizing that it is too hot and causes the skin to release sweat. Sweat is a combination of water, electrolytes, and sometimes other materials that the body is wishing to expel. The moisture on the skin works to cool the body off by a process called evaporative heat loss. The body may also cause sweating as a response to stress or illness.

Excessive sweating, particularly greasy sweat, is a sign of NMS. It occurs from the disruption of the nervous system from the deficiency of dopamine in the brain.⁴Tse, Lurdes et al. “Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: A Review from a Clinically Oriented Perspective.” Current neuropharmacology vol. 13,3 (2015): 395-406. doi:10.2174/1570159x13999150424113345
