Members discussed whether benzodiazepines could help with excessive sweating, with the consensus being that medications like Xanax and antidepressants do not reduce sweating and may sometimes worsen it. Several members shared practical strategies that have helped them manage hyperhidrosis, including Certain Dri deodorant, wiping underarms with alcohol at night, carrying a handheld battery-operated fan, and trying oxybutynin specifically for sweating. A recurring theme was the frustration of trial and error, with mixed results reported for CBD oil, which some found too expensive or ineffective, though members encouraged one another to keep trying different approaches and not give up.
